if a real json boolean is sent via the api, $value is a
JSON::PP::Boolean here instead of a string/scalar

so we should validate that too

the $value itself can be used normally in conditions like
----
if ($value) {

This worked for most api calls by accident before commit:
f398a3d ("proxy request: forward json content type and parameters")

since when the call was proxied to pvedaemon or another node, it would
get translated to a www-form-urlencoded parameter instead of json
and most (if not all) api calls that accept boolean parameters in the
body (POST/PUT) are forwarded to pvedaemon

i tested this with a few api calls (e.g. in the user creation/edit)
and it worked, but maybe the safer option would be to convert those
values to '1'/'0' ? we could reuse the 'normalize_legacy_param_formats'
function in RESTHandler for this, but this only checks the top level
parameters (which would be enough for now)

sure makes sense, i'll wait with the next version if someone has any additional 
thing
to say about the general approach (@thomas? @fabian? @fiona?)
