----------------------------------------

For trunk this also needs to update the validate_doc_update fun for _replicator

> All filtered query params are silently converted to strings. this causes tests for if (req.query.foo) to evaluate to true even for {"query_params":{"foo":false}} because "false" is true.
> No clean solution exists to fix this as _changes has a GET entry point and request parameters are untyped.
> Suggested fix is to scan the query_params in handle_replicate_req and throw a 400 Bad Request if any value is not a JSON string.
