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.

     [1]
  https://github.com/openstack/oslo.config/blob/master/oslo_config/cfg.py#L2173

  2. Proposal
     1) Fix violations when enforce_type=True in each project.

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

   You can find more details and comments  in
  https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/enforce_type_true_by_default

  3. How to find violations in your projects.

     1. Run tox -e py27

     2. then modify oslo.config with enforce_type=True
        cd .tox/py27/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/oslo_config
        edit cfg.py with enforce_type=True

  -    def set_override(self, name, override, group=None, enforce_type=False):
  +    def set_override(self, name, override, group=None, enforce_type=True):

    3. Run tox -e py27 again, you will find violations.

  
  The current state is that oslo.config make enforce_type as True by default and deprecate this parameter, will remove it in the future, the current work
  is that remove usage of enforce_type in consuming projects. We can list the
  usage of it in http://codesearch.openstack.org/?q=enforce_type&i=nope&files=&repos=
