userData field triggers an NPE when not explicitly initialized to "" (empty string)

      When configuring an EC2 cloud using CasC, one must explicitly set userData to avoid getting an NPE during provisioning.

      Here is the working yaml

      ---
jenkins:   clouds:     - amazonEC2:
        cloudName: "ec2"
        instanceCapStr: 20
        zone: "us-east-1"
        useInstanceProfileForCredentials: true
        privateKey: "${PRIVATE_KEY}"
        templates:           - description: "EC2 Agent"
            ami: "ami-0c6bb742864ffa3f3"
            labels: "agent"
            type: "T2Xlarge"
            remoteFS: "/home/ec2-user"
            remoteAdmin: "ec2-user"
            ################            
            # FIXME: without this, there's an NPE during provisioning
            userData: ""

      Expected behaviour

      If I do not need any userData, I should just be able to not specify it like above.

      (the workaround being easy and obvious is the reason I put this as low priority).
