.SYNOPSIS
Converts a userparameters encoded blob into an ordered dictionary of decoded values.
Author: Will Schroeder (@harmj0y)
License: BSD 3-Clause
Required Dependencies: None
.DESCRIPTION
This function will take a userparameters blob from an active directory user
and decodes the arbitrary format into human readable values.
Heavily based on Cybericom's PoC code at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/953cd9b5-8d6f-4823-be6b-ebc009cc1ed9/powershell-script-to-modify-the-activedirectory-userparameters-attribute-to-set-terminal-services?forum=ITCG
.PARAMETER Value
Specifies the string blob to decode.
.PARAMETER ShowAll
Switch. Signals ConvertFrom-UserParameter to display all values, including null/blank values.
