Return Value:: Number or Array of Numbers if input is an Array

Example 1:: [safeZoneX, safeZoneWAbs, configFile] call BIS_fnc_parseNumberSafe; // returns [-0.452381,1.90476,0]
Example 2:: ["1337", "2013", date] call BIS_fnc_parseNumberSafe; // returns [1337,2013,[2036,1,1,6,58]]
Example 3:: [blufor, opfor, independent, civilian] call BIS_fnc_parseNumberSafe; // returns [1,0,2,3]
