Public bug reported:

Django REST wrappers defined on Horizon's server-side to receive data
from Angular modal forms rely on field values being transferred along
with their type using JSON format, i.e. number widgets produce
'{number_field: 42}', boolean fields produce '{boolean_field: true} etc.
This assumption becomes wrong when a FileField is present in such form,
because to transfer it browser has to use 'Content-Type: multipart/form-
data' header, which forces every field to pass its value as a string.

This becomes a real problem as soon as Glance V2 API is fully supported
by Horizon, since Glance V2 requires that image properties types obey
the types defined in the schema.
