Review request for cloudstack, Alena Prokharchyk and Rohit Yadav.


Description
-------

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.
To find if a parameter value contains a control character, every decoded 
parameter value was matched with the regex [\000-\037\177] as the ASCII 
non-printable characters are numbers 0 to 31 and 127 decimal.


This addresses bug CLOUDSTACK-863.

Testing
-------

Manual Testing done, 
For sample API's (updateVirtualMachine, createVolume, 
authorizeSecurityGroupIngress etc), provide input values containing 
character(s) that are
• ASCII printable - pass 
• ASCII non-printable - fail with error code 431 and error 'Received value 
<parameter-value> for parameter <parameter-name> is invalid, contains illegal 
ASCII non-printable characters' 
• non-english - pass
