Description

The recently-added text attributes for connections and users can be accidentally set to a blank value (rather than null) if the value is edited and then deleted. This is particularly problematic for the new guacd hostname attribute for connections, which causes connections to fail if set to a blank value:

[http-bio-8080-exec-9] DEBUG o.a.g.net.InetGuacamoleSocket - Connecting to guacd at :4822.

For fields which internally use null to represent a blank value, blank values provided by the interface should be properly translated back to null, including "".
