    Fixes server list filtering on metadata

    In order to specify filtering of returned servers based on
    metadata or system metadata a key/value pair string is passed to
    the API. However, the string is never converted to a separate
    key/value dictionary. This results in the db failing to filter
    correctly and causes a stack trace.

    This change correctly converts the string values for system
    metadata and metadata to dictionaries and fixes the compute api
    unittests which previously erroneously assumed that the compute
    api layer would be passed search opts in dict format when
    required.
