What needs to get done

Description

Action parameters and config options represent integers in two different ways in charmcraft.yaml. Configuration option accept the type int, while action parameters accept the type integer. We're talking about the same concept here, there is no good reason to have two ways of talking about integers.

Reference

...
config:
  options:
    subscriber-count:
      type: int
      default: 1
      description: Number of subscribers to simulate

actions:
  my-action:
    description: Run my action
    params:
      timeout:
        type: integer
        description: Time to wait for the simulation to complete (in seconds). The more subscribers, the longer the simulation will take.
        default: 300

Why it needs to get done

The same concept is represented in two different ways, unnecessarily confusing users.
