Support for type: object for formData parameters

[fdstevex]

Currently the specification doesn't support complex formData parameters. For example, our API uses this format (appropriately escaped):

body={"name1": "value", "name2": "value2"}

With the current spec we'd have to specify the body parameter as type: string and pass the JSON as an opaque string. This negates a lot of the value of the Swagger definition for our API.

@fdstevex FYI complex parameters have been added to the spec. What @ePaul mentions is that we haven't formalized how we describe the serialization strategy. But what you're asking for has been accepted conceptually.

Please reopen with any questions.
