CLOUDSTACK-863: Fix Non-printable characters in api call

Non-printable characters results in empty pages for all users loading the
corrupted object in the web interface. It also results in the API call results
getting truncated with an error when it encounters the non-printable characters.
Every decoded parameter value is checked for control character using OWASP's
ESAPI library.
