rewritten preventive measure to convert "unexpected" type before pickled in CS-protocols: don't convert all basic types now (also bool, int etc).

Fixed bug with ignoreself option, which reached fail2ban-server as string 'False' (and not as boolean), so no matter which value was set - it results always in True (see gh-2078).
