fixed a number of crashes due to empty string arguments or uninitialized registers
* An empty but valid teco_string_t can contain NULL pointers. More precisely, a state's done_cb() can be invoked with such empty strings in case of empty string arguments. Also a registers get_string() can return the NULL pointer for existing registers with uninitialized string parts. * In all of these cases, the language should treat "uninitialized" strings exactly like empty strings. * Not doing so, resulted in a number of vulnerabilities. * EN$$ crashed if "_" was uninitialized * The ^E@q and ^ENq string building constructs would crash for existing but uninitialized registers q. * ?$ would crash * ESSETILEXER$$ would crash * This is now fixed. Test cases have been added. * I cannot guarantee that I have found all such cases. Generally, it might be wise to change our definitions and make sure that every teco_string_t must have an associated heap object to be valid. All functions returning pointer+length pairs should consequently also never return NULL pointers.
