fix global filtering with undefined first values

[KevinVandy]

What changed

• determine default global-filter eligibility from the first non-nullish value in a column
• preserve the existing behavior of enabling string and number columns only
• add a regression test covering an undefined first value followed by searchable strings

Why

The default eligibility predicate sampled only the first row. When that row had an undefined value, the entire column was excluded from global filtering even when later rows contained valid strings or numbers. This made results depend on row order.

Validation

• reproduced the failure on beta before applying the implementation change
• table-core test suite: 52 files, 1,005 tests passed
• table-core TypeScript and declaration-emit checks passed
• table-core ESLint passed
• Prettier and git diff checks passed

Closes #4783
