dockOpts["size"] need to be converted to string

When a user specify a storage resources size in a PVC, the value gets treated as an integer internally and passed down to the Docker Volume API socket as an integer type in JSON.

Plugins that may be written using the official Go bindings from Docker will not work as the library only accepts strings in the value. https://github.com/docker/go-plugins-helpers/tree/master/volume (https://github.com/docker/go-plugins-helpers/blob/1e6269c305b8c75cfda1c8aa91349c38d7335814/volume/api.go#L26)

Since neither a StorageClass or PVC annotation accepts any other data types than strings. It would be more coherent to pass claimSizeInGiB as a string to the Docker Volume API socket.

I'm having trouble following the code that determines where size should be picked from (I tried setting "size" in the StorageClass, with no effect) so this crude patch solved my immediate problem:

Found one more occasion in the same method where claimSizeInGiB needed to be converted. Accidentally trashed the VM I had it on... :-)
