RPM Support

pulp-admin had an incorrect behavior where the default value for the field is '' when the type is a dict. The string versions have made it into the database for any user who used pulp admin to upload a PackageGroup, PackageEnvironment, or PackageCategory. The pulp-admin issue has been fixed, but the database records are already in users databases. This causes validation to fail for PackageGroup, PackageEnvironment, or PackageCategory after an upgrade to 2.8.0.

The solution is to add a migration that looks for the incorrect default of '' on the translated_name field and replaces it with {}. It is slightly less risky to replace the '' with {} versus just removing the '' attribute because other areas of Pulp may check if the attribute exists.

Also this task includes evaluating and fixing the translated_description as well, which likely has the same problem on all 3 Package* unit types.
