app/json VS querystring request leads to different data representations

[vhermecz]

Calling a restapi endpoint with:

1. a querystring, causes BaseSerializer.from_native being called with a QueryDict.
2. a body of application/json, causes BaseSerializer.from_native being called with a dict.

While this might not be a problem most of the times, but when it comes to a RelatedField with many=True, calling getlist for getting all of the values can offer some bad surprises...

Wondering if there is an easy fix for this.. (E.g.: adding a JsonDict type, which has a getlist wrapping scalars into a list or something, and wrapping return value of JSONParser.parse into it)
