Title: Return correct value for base64 and empty strings

1. AWS returns base64 strings for attribute values that contain XML-restricted characters (such as \u0000) -- detect and decode these values.

2. The XML parser used by aws-lib returns empty strings as {} -- check for these and return "" to the client.
