Subject: [PATCH] (RichText)(Workaround)(17.1.x) Fallback to a string arg in
 `collapseWhiteSpace()` if `value` is not a string (#56570)

* (RichText)(Fix)(Workaround) Make sure value is always a string to avoid TypeErorrs

See the comments in this changeset for more info on why this was needed.

* Use a more localized fix that does not change the argument
