CLOUDSTACK-9593: userdata: enforce data is a multiple of 4 characters (#1760)
Python base64 requires that the string is a multiple of 4 characters but
the Apache codec does not. RFC states is not mandatory so the data should
not fail the VR script (vmdata.py).

> The user data is validated through the Apache commons codec library, but this
> library does not check that the length is a multiple of 4 characters. The RFC
> does not require it either. But the python script in the virtual router that
> loads the user data does check for the possible padding presence, requiring
> the string to be a multiple of 4 characters.
> {code:python}
> >>> import base64
> >>> base64.b64decode('foo')

> Currently since the java check is less restrictive, the user data gets saved
> into the database but the VR script crashes when it receives this VM user
> data. On a single VM it is not really a problem. The critical issue is when a
> VR is restarted. The invalid pythonic base64 string makes the vmdata.py
> script crashed, resulting in a VR not starting at all.
