rules: improved operator list parsing and conversion
Previously when creating a new rule we followed these steps:
 - Create a new protobuf Rule object from the ruleseditor or the
   pop-ups.
 - If the rule contained more than one operator, we converted the
   list of operators to a JSON string.
 - This JSON string was sent back to the daemon, and saved to the
   DB.
 - The list of operators were never expanded on the GUI, i.e., they
   were not saved as a list of protobuf Operator objects.
 - Once received in the daemon, the JSON string was parsed and
   converted to a protobuf Operator list of objects.
   Both, the JSON string and the list of protobuf Operator objects were
   saved to disk, but the JSON string was ignored when loading the
   rules.

Saving the list of operators as a JSON string was a problem if you
wanted to create or modify rules without the GUI.

Now when creating or modifying rules from the GUI, the list of operators
is no longer converted to JSON string. Instead the list is sent to the
daemon as a list of protobuf Operators, and saved as JSON objects.

Notes:
 - The JSON string is no longer saved to disk as part of the rules.
 - The list of operators is still saved as JSON string to the DB.
 - About not enabled rules:
   Previously, not enabled rules only had the list of operators as JSON
   string, with the field list:[] empty.
   Now the list of operators is saved as JSON objects, but if the rule
   is not enabled, it won't be parsed/loaded.
