Bug description:
  1. Problems :
     oslo_config provides method CONF.set_override[1] , developers usually use it to change config option's value in tests. That's convenient .
     By default  parameter enforce_type=False,  it doesn't check any type or value of override. If set enforce_type=True , will check parameter
     override's type and value.  In production code(running time code),  oslo_config  always checks  config option's value.
     In short, we test and run code in different ways. so there's  gap:  config option with wrong type or invalid value can pass tests when
     parameter enforce_type = False in consuming projects.  that means some invalid or wrong tests are in our code base.
     There is nova POC result when I enable "enforce_type=true" [2],  and I must fix them in [3]

  2. Proposal 
     1) Make  method CONF.set_override with  enforce_type=True  in consuming projects. and  fix violations when  enforce_type=True in each project.

    2) Make  method CONF.set_override with  enforce_type=True by default
  in oslo_config

     Hope some one from consuming projects can help make
  enforce_type=True in consuming projects and fix violations,
