Having float type as a base type for floating point parameters in
ipalib introduces several issues, e.g. problem with representation
or value comparison. Python language provides a Decimal type which
help overcome these issues.
This patch replaces a float type and Float parameter with a
decimal.Decimal type in Decimal parameter. A precision attribute
was added to Decimal parameter that can be used to limit a number
of decimal places in parameter representation. This approach fixes
a problem with API.txt validation where comparison of float values
may fail on different architectures due to float representation error.
In order to safely transfer the parameter value over RPC it is
being converted to string which is then converted back to
decimal.Decimal number on a server side.

Remove "List" parameter type and replace all occurences of it with appropriate
multi-valued parameter ("Str" in most cases) with csv enabled.
Add new parameter type "Any", capable of holding values of any type. This is
needed by the "batch" command, as "Str" is not suitable type for the "methods"
parameter.

Allow a long to get as far as the min/max constraints where we can
compare it to min/max int values and reject with a proper error message.

This patch removes some individual work-arounds of converting strings
to unicode, they only masked the problem. String values are not
passed to the validator or normalizers so things like adding the
realm automatically to services weren't happening.

The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think

When a Requirement fails we throw an exception including the name of the
field that is missing. To make the command-line friendlier we have a
cli_name defined which may or may not match the LDAP attribute. This can
be confusing if you are using ipalib directly because the attribute name
missing may not match what is actually required (desc vs description is
a good example).
If you use the context 'cli' then it will throw exceptions using cli_name.
If you use any other context it will use the name of the attribute.

A number of doc strings were not localized, wrap them in _().
Some messages were not localized, wrap them in _()
Fix a couple of failing tests:
The method name in RPC should not be unicode.
The doc attribute must use the .msg attribute for comparison.
Also clean up imports of _() The import should come from
ipalib or ipalib.text, not ugettext from request.
This modifies the original patch by including a unit test, handling floats
when passed as unicode, and handling large magnitude values beyond maxint.
The INT parameter class was not respecting any radix prefix (e.g. 0x) the user
may have supplied. This patch implements _convert_scalar method for the Int
class so that we can pass the special radix base of zero to the int constructor
telling it to determine the radix from the prefix (if present).
