Issue:
CLI argument being converted to number and rounded up
# This is a Bug Report

## Description

Command line argument '2060451113271393738' is being converted to a number and then rounded up to 2060451113271393800 in options array.


* What went wrong?  
Calling KMS Secrets plugin, the string value '2060451113271393738' is being converted by the CLI processInput function to 2060451113271393800. The use of the minimist(inputArray) function appears to be causing the problem.

https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/master/lib/classes/CLI.js#L37

Here's the line in the minimist package that converts the argument to a number. https://github.com/substack/minimist/blob/master/index.js#L59

* What did you expect should have happened?
It should have treated my value as a string. 

* What stacktrace or error message from your provider did you see?


```sh
sls encrypt -n TEST_ENCRYPT -v '2060451113271393738' -s dev -r us-east-1

DEBUG Before call to minimist(inputArray);
[ 'encrypt',
  '-n',

  '-v',
  '2060451113271393738',
  '-s',
  'dev',
  '-r',
  'us-east-1' ]

DEBUG After call to minimist(inputArray);

  n: 'TEST_ENCRYPT',
  v: 2060451113271393800,
  s: 'dev',

Issue discussion:
Hi, can I work on this? Or is anyone working on it currently?
Thanks!
Hi @RafalWilinski it is still this issue relevant?
@JmeG I play around with the code and I think that I have a workaround.
Do you still need it? Pass all tests so, I can push into my fork for your testing.
