Unchecked conversion between data types in metafields

[ashmaroli]

Description:

Tell us a bit about yourself:

• Version of JekyllAdmin I'm using : 0.2.0
• Version of Jekyll I'm using : 3.3.1
• Operating System : Windows
• Browser : Chrome

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new document via Admin interface
2. Create a complex set of metadata:
   2.1 value-objects
   2.2 objects with lists
   2.3 lists with objects

I expected the following:

expected the generated Front Matter to be a well-formatted valid YAML data

But got the following, instead:

• the key has whitespaces between words instead of an underscore '_'
• the first item of nested list-items have 2 dashes - - next to them

though http://www.yamllint.com/ doesn't flag the resulting data as INVALID, this was unexpected.

An example set of Front Matter data generated by a novice:

title: Test
foo: bar
template: post
pro players:
  forwards:
  - Harvey
  - Webber
  defence:
  - Campbell
  - - Alvin
    - Dave
    - Substitute players:
      - Chad
      - Billy
