Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Not possible to use the config-drive support (as currently in yakkety-proposed, zesty and artful)

  [Test Case]
  Deploy Nova-LXD based OpenStack Cloud
  openstack server create --wait --image xenial --flavor m1.small --key-name testkey --nic net-id=XXXX --min 1 --max 1 --config-drive True xenial-config-drive
  instance will go into ERROR state and fail to boot.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal; this feature has never worked correctly, the fix resolves and issue with passing the readonly flag for the config-drive device as a boolean rather than a string (as required by the LXD API).

  [Original Bug Report]
  When booting instances using the --config-drive flag, the instance fail to boot with the following error:

    LXDAPIException: json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go value of type
  string

  nova-lxd is passing the 'readonly' flag as a boolean, not as a string,
  and the LXD API fails to unmarshall it as a result.
