web: __init__: _rep: Filter all bytes for serializer

This commit fixes issue beetbox#2532 by filtering out any byte values added by any other extensions and decoding them to strings for the JSON serializer. It does not remove any of the keys, instead opting to just convert them. Signed-off-by: Mark Stenglein <[email protected]>
