    METRON-1435: Management UI cannot save json objects in advanced config

    ## Contributor Comments
    This PR fixes a bug in the Management UI that limits a user to only entering strings in the Advanced Config section.  This can be verified in full dev by navigating to the Management UI and editing the bro sensor.  Expand the Advanced Config by clicking on the "Advanced" link at the bottom of the main panel.  In the "PARSER CONFIG" section, enter a field name and `["value"]` as the value.  Use Swagger to get the bro config and the parserConfig should look like:
    ```
    {
      ...
      "parserConfig": {
        "field": ["value"]
      }
    }
    ```
    Before this PR the parserConfig would have been incorrectly converted to a string:
    ```
    {
      ...
      "parserConfig": {
        "field": "[\"value\"]"
      }
    }
    ```
    This will also work for json objects as well as arrays.
