feat($interpolate): use custom toString() function if present

Except on Numbers, Dates and Arrays.

Thanks to @danielkrainas for the initial implementation of this feature.

This behavior is consistent with implementations found in other languages such as Ruby, Python,
and CoffeeScript.

The commit also exposes a private $$stringify method on the angular global, so that ngMessageFormat
can use the same logic without duplicating it.

Fixes #7317
Closes #8350
Fixes #11406

BREAKING CHANGE:

When converting values to strings, interpolation now uses a custom toString() function on objects
that are not Number, Array or Date (custom means that the `toString` function is not the same as
`Object.prototype.toString`). Otherwise, interpolation uses JSON.stringify() as usual.

Should you have a custom toString() function but still want the output of JSON.stringify(),
migrate as shown in the following examples:

Before:

```html
<span>{{myObject}}</span>
```

After - use the `json` filter to stringify the object:

```html
<span>{{myObject | json}}</span>
```
