langs/i18n: Fix warning regression in i18n

Fix this by

1. Making sure that only numerical values are treated as plural counts
2. Making sure that `i18n.pluralFormNotFoundError` is not logged as a warning if `other` resolved.

Note that 2. isn't a new problem, but became visible because of the plural improvements in Hugo `0.83.0`.

Fixes #8492
