Fix crash on attempt to decode null image

This change is incorrect. While this will not crash, it will create an encoded argument that will not decode properly on the receiving end. The decode function will decode the cursor type, see that it is Custom, then call decodeImage. But decodeImage will read the data of the next thing encoded in the stream, and the decode process will then fail because we’ll be off by at least one byte.

The correct way to change this is to make the null image encode in a way that can be decoded on the other end. One way this could be accomplished would be to encode a boolean to indicate whether an image is present before encoding the image and then decode that boolean in the cursor decode function. If the boolean says the image is null the decoder knows not to try to decode the image. If the boolean says the image is non-null then it knows it must decode the image.

Fix crash on attempt to decode null image v2

This is wrong for the same reason the other one is. Encoding no bytes at all does not work on the decoding side. The decodeImage function has no way to know that the image was null, and so will attempt to decode the image, and thus the decoding process will be off.
