ironic client can not set portgroup mode as integer

[Kaifeng Wang]

According to [1], bonding mode can be represented as a string or number, e.g. active-backup or 1.

When using ironic cli to create a new port group, the mode parameter accepts a string or number:

# openstack --os-baremetal-api-version 1.26 baremetal port group create --node a308bca6-e6a3-4349-b8ea-695e17672898 --name pg0 --mode 1 --property miimon=100

And after the port group is created, If we set mode to another mode number, ironic cli reports an error:

# openstack --os-baremetal-api-version 1.26 baremetal port group set c42f9bf8-3b5d-4673-b6c1-832c10e4fecf --mode 1
Invalid input for field/attribute mode. Value: '1'. Wrong type. Expected '<type 'unicode'>', got '<type 'int'>' (HTTP 400)

This behaviour is not consistent nor conforms to [1].

The issue is caused by split_and_deserialize, which utilized json to convert values, the should be string value is changed to int after json.loads.

    Can not set portgroup mode as a number

    When creating portgroup, mode accepts a string or a number, e.g.:
    active-backup or 1.

    While setting new mode for an existing portgroup will raise an error, if
    the mode is passed as a number:

        # openstack --os-baremetal-api-version 1.26 baremetal port group \
        set c42f9bf8-3b5d-4673-b6c1-832c10e4fecf --mode 1
        Invalid input for field/attribute mode. Value: '1'. Wrong type. Expected
        '<type 'unicode'>', got '<type 'int'>' (HTTP 400)

    This patch add quotes to mode string to avoid unwanted conversion.
