Jeff Mitchell 1c39691023 Fix setting host catalog attributes to nil (#1743)
Internally attributes are not allowed to be the null value. However, as
currently implemented, this then breaks our normal model of sending an
explicit `null` in the JSON to reset/clear a field. This is a problem
because the CLI doesn't have a way to say "set this but to empty"
without a lot of hoops, and causes some issues for API users and TF as
well.

This changes PatchBytes and PatchStruct to return an empty value (or
marshaled empty value in the case of PatchBytes) if the source is null
or empty. In the host catalog update function we then always set this
value if it's in the db mask (removing the nil check). Together this
means a null value ends up coming out as an empty value (and thus valid
for the DB) from PatchStruct/PatchBytes, and our API translation
function already returns nothing for attributes if the length of the
fields are zero.

// PatchStruct updates the struct found in dst with the values found in src. The
// intent of this helper is to provide a fallback mechanism for subtype
// attributes when the actual schema of the subtype attributes are unknown. As
// such, it's preferred to use other methods (such as mask mapping) when an
// actual message for the subtype is known.
//
// The following rules apply:
//
// * The source (src) map is merged into the destination map (dst). If the
// source map is nil, the destination will be a valid, but empty, map.
//
// * Values are overwritten by the source map if they exist in both.
//
// * Values are deleted from the destination if they are set to null in the
// source.
//
// * Maps are recursively applied, meaning that a nested map at key "foo" in
// the destination would be patched with a map at key "foo" in the
// source.
//
// * A map in the destination is overwritten by a non-map in the source,
// and a non-map in the destination is overwritten by a map in the
// source.
//
// PatchStruct returns the updated map as a copy, dst and src are not altered.
