Dvc: config.get(section, opt) doesnt coerce value to appropriate type

[JIoJIaJIu]

config.get(section, opt) returns value as str when expects int

Steps for reproduce

1. Add number value into config section
   [core] checksum_jobs = 10
SECTION_CORE_CHECKSUM_JOBS: All(Coerce(int), Range(1))
2. Run cli
3. config.get returns str
   >>> from dvc.repo import Repo >>> r = Repo() >>> r.config.get('core', 'checksum_jobs') '10' # but expects to get 10 as int >>> r.config.config.get('core', {}).get('checksum_jobs') 10
   Please provide information about your setup

@JIoJIaJIu, this is because configobject is a wrapper of configparser.

ConfigObject has methods like .as_int() to work around this (unnecessary, in my opinion).
I would rethink the current Config implementation.

The design of our Config object is not clear and simple) We discussed refactoring it with @efiop, but it is still waiting and we are working around things like that for now.
