Saved batch processing inputs are not restored in a useful state

[qgib]

Author Name: Spencer Gardner (@spencerrecneps)
Original Redmine Issue: 16309
Affected QGIS version: 2.18.4
Redmine category:processing/core

---

I have a batch processing routine that I have saved to .json format for repeated use. When I reload the batch configuration it encloses layer references in double quotes, which causes an error when running the batch process. In order to make things work I have to manually remove the double quotes from all layer references.

How to reproduce:

1. Create a batch process and save to .json
2. Close the dialog and reopen
3. Load the saved .json file

What happens:
Layer references are enclosed in double quotes, which causes an error when the tool is run.

What should happen:
Layer references are not enclosed in anything and the tool runs successfully without needing further user input.
