[Painless Lab] Floating point values coerced to integers

[cjcenizal]

The API expects floating point parameters to be respected, e.g.

POST /_scripts/painless/_execute
{
  "script": {
    "source": "params.count / params.total",
    "params": {
      "count": 100.0,
      "total": 1000.0
    }
  }
}

This resolves to 0.1. However, if we set the Parameters tab to:

{
  "count": 100.0,
  "total": 1000.0
}

And then execute a script of params.count / params.total, then the request is sent with coerced integer parameters of 100 and 1000. Because they're integer values, they resolve to 0.

@jloleysens It looks like Console doesn't have this problem. Do you know why not, and do you know if we can reuse the solution here?

Looks like this is a result of parsing the parameters input as an object on the client, instead of preserving it as a string.
