Prevent API error when NULL bio is given

Adam Hegyi requested to merge 227863-fix-api-error-on-null-bio into master

What does this MR do?

In !35604 (merged) we made users.bio obsolete (ignored) and started using only user_details.bio. The user_details.bio column does not accept null values and defaults to "".

This change ensures that the nil (null) values are converted to empty string ("") before saving the user_details record (bio attribute), thus preventing the NOT NULL error.
