restapi: Don't assume that Lists are ArrayLists

Currently there are a few places where we assume that the result
returned by the backend is an ArrayList. This isn't necessary true, in
particular it isn't true for lists of users and groups returned by
directories, as they will be special empty lists. This patch changes the
RESTAPI so that it uses the List interface instead of the ArrayList
class.
