Fail to marshall local.yml services with 'credentials' as objects

[marksjwhite]

When attempting to run a previously created droplet using local.yml we see the error;

Error: json: unsupported type: map[interface {}]interface {}

This happens only when "services:" contains a "credentials" object with data other than name/value pairs. Our CF environment and service bindings regularly writes extra information into "credentials", inside additional objects.

For example a rabbitmq service binding writes additional port information into "credentials";

JSON:

... 8<...
                "rabbitmq": [
                        {
                                "label": "rabbitmq",
.. 8<...
                                "credentials": {
                                        "hostname": "10.11.241.23",
                                        "ports": {
                                                "15672/tcp": "60661",
                                                "15674/tcp": "35351",
                                                "5672/tcp": "49519",
                                                "61613/tcp": "56945"
                                        },
                                        "port": "49519",
                                        "username": "x",
                                        "password": "y",
                                        "uri": "amqp://x:[email protected]:49519"
                                },
.. 8<...

YAML:

  rabbitmq:
     -
       label: "rabbitmq"
.. 8<...
       credentials:
         hostname: "10.11.241.23"
         ports:
           15672/tcp: "60661"
           15674/tcp: "35351"
           5672/tcp: "49519"
           61613/tcp: "56945"
         port: "49519"
         username: "esZ6TT-2OEE51BDz"
         password: "VmIb7jGEfhfOeHGN"
         uri: "amqp://esZ6TT-2OEE51BDz:[email protected]:49519"
.. 8<...

Removing the "ports" in bold allows a 'cf local run' to work, but our applications rely on data passed in the credentials in this format and so subsequently fail to start.

$ cf local version
CF Local version 0.19.0
