Public bug reported:
Input validation of the name field for the create method for os-server-
groups extension is broken in that it accepts integers, floats, etc as
well as strings as the nova internals code quietly converts these to
strings. This was not picked up by the unittests because they were
correctly all the invalid data passed as the data was also missing the
policies parameter which is compulsory.
Also we should be tightening the name field to also fail on trailing and
leading spaces as allowing this tends to cause confusing situations for
users (this is where we have been headed in other places in the API).
