docs: If the response from the backend is empty, return a HTTP 204 No Content.
  
      Args:
        orig_request: An ApiRequest, the original request from the user.
        method_config: A dict, the API config of the method to be called.
        start_response: A function with semantics defined in PEP-333.
  
      Returns:
        If the backend response was empty, this returns a string containing the
        response body that should be returned to the user.  If the backend
        response wasn't empty, this returns None, indicating that we should not
        exit early with a 204.
