This extracts some common API-idiosyncracy-handling patterns from model serialisers into properties that are processed by the application serialiser:
* arrayNullOverrides converts a null property value to an empty array
* mapToArray converts a map to an array of maps, using the original map keys as Name properties on the array maps
* separateNanos splits nanosecond-containing timestamps into millisecond timestamps and separate nanosecond properties
When a node has no host volumes, the API response will
have a null value for the HostVolumes attribute, which
in turn becomes a null value instead of an empty array
in the store. This protects against that, ensuring host
volumes is always an array.
