pyboinc seems unable to parse some commands #5

Describe the bug pyBOINC produces incomplete or no output for the commands get_statistics and get_old_results which is odd because it seems to have no trouble parsing content from other commands which similar return data. See https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/5349 for more details about this.

With the help of Vitalii @ BOINC, I can see that BOINC is actually returning the information correctly in the RPC reply, so this is an issue on the pyboinc side.

I may get around to investigating and fixing this myself, but if not I thought it would be a good idea to create an issue for it.

Thanks for raising this issue. It is likely that there is no (proper) support for the given commands since

The Interface is primarily meant for controlling a BOINC Client and hence does not support all features of the protocol.

But I appreciate any efforts to extend/patch the package!
