Parse comma-separated lists of values in all parameter types. This can
enabled for a specific parameter by setting the "csvlist" option to
True.

Remove List parameter type and replace all occurences with Str with
csvlist enabled.

This change will be useful for
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1487 and
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1847

Unit tests show no regressions.

Self-NACK - I have noticed that the batch command no longer works.

Updated patch attached.

What is the benefit of this over the List parameter type?

Mainly because the List parameter type is just a hack. This is the right thing to do if we want to use comma-separated lists of parameters of any type, with all the validation and other parameter type-specific features.

For example, I've added a new parameter type for IP addresses in my patch 46 (http://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-devel/2011-September/msg00187.html) and use it for A and AAAA DNS records. Without this patch, we can either use List for the record parameters and lose validation in dnsrecord-find (because it is based on crud.Search, which strips all the custom validation rules - like _validate_ipaddr - from the command parameters, which is one of the causes of #1627) or use IPAddress for the record parameters and lose the ability to specify them as comma-separated list of values. With this patch, we can have both comma-separated lists and validation at the same time.

Besides, the patch is not as big as it looks like, all the interesting stuff is in ipalib/parameters.py, everything else is just search-and-replace. Also I need it to fix #1487 and #1847 without doing ugly hacks.
