fix(simplify): Leave string constants as strings. (#2372)
* fix(simplify): Leave string constants as strings.

  Note that because the `size` built-in function called on a string returns
  a Matrix, which is represented in math.js expressions as an Array, this
  commit has to add ArrayNode as a dependency of `simplify` (and hence
  also of `rationalize`).

  In addition, it requires changing the handling of ArrayNodes
  and AccessorNodes in `simplifyConstant` from "unimplemented" to just a
  pass-through (since a full implementation of simplification in Arrays and
  indexing seemed beyond the scope of this change, but `simplify` must not
  throw an error on `size("foo")`). Hence, this commit also adds skipped unit
  tests for some expressions with arrays and indexing that should ultimately
  simplify.

  It also removes the skip on the test group "should not change the value of
  numbers when converting to fractions (3)" since all of those tests already
  appear to pass.

  Resolves #2152.

  Changes the behavior in #1913 from throwing an error to allowing Arrays and
  indexes but not simplifying inside them.

* chore: Fix lint and remove explanatory comment
