Fix OSX defaults for lists

In modern ansible, parameters default to string type.  This causes
issues for polymorphic parameters like this module's value param.  note
that this fix restores ansible-2.0 and previous behaviour but it is not
perfect.  If a parameter is specified via key=value or given on the
commandline then it will be a string before it reaches the module code.
There's nothing we can do about that.

Fixes #19585
