Title:
  boolean query parameters inconsistently handled

Status in OpenStack Identity (Keystone):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The code which handles interpreting boolean query parameters (which
  are always converted to strings as part of the request) seems overly
  restrictive, it will only except "blah?parameter=0" as a definition of
  False, and not the (arguably more intuitive) "blah?parameter=False"

  For example, trying to use the domain "enabled" filter:

  # curl -i -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token: 27c9fcf8c0404de0b15f33e11208bdda' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:5000/v3/domains?enabled=0
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Vary: X-Auth-Token
  Content-Type: application/json
  Content-Length: 102
  Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:37:29 GMT

  {"domains": [], "links": {"self": "http://localhost:5000/v3/domains";,
  "previous": null, "next": null}}

  # curl -i -X GET -H 'X-Auth-Token: 27c9fcf8c0404de0b15f33e11208bdd -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:5000/v3/domains?enabled=False
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Vary: X-Auth-Token
  Content-Type: application/json
  Content-Length: 536
  Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:37:35 GMT

  {"domains": [{"links": {"self":
  "http://localhost:5000/v3/domains/b10fcb438ed048ada48036c25f8a45de"},
  "enabled": true, "description": "Owns users and tenants used by the
  heat service", "name": "heat", "id":
  "b10fcb438ed048ada48036c25f8a45de"}, {"links": {"self":
  "http://localhost:5000/v3/domains/default"}, "enabled": true,
  "description": "Owns users and tenants (i.e. projects) available on
  Identity API v2.", "name": "Default", "id": "default"}], "links":
  {"self": "http://localhost:5000/v3/domains";, "previous": null, "next":
  null}}

  
  So passing enabled=False returns all the results for enabled=True, which is, uh, confusing, particularly since True/False works when specifying enabled in the body when creating a domain.

  The problem is here:
