Adrian Vovk ffcf226c7f sd-varlink: Return empty object for missing params
Previously, sd-varlink was inconsistent about what it did with
empty/missing/null parameters in a Varlink call or reply: when
dispatching to a callback, it would always construct an empty object and
hand over the empty object to the handler (good!). But when returning
the value directly (i.e. with sd_varlink_call), it would return NULL
when parameters were omitted and a JSON null when the paramerters were
null.

This inconsistency is a violation of UAPI.20, which states that
receivers of Varlink messages MUST treat omitted/null/empty parameters
on Varlink calls and replies equivalently, where senders only SHOULD
prefer to omit the parameters.

This commit makes sd-varlink normalize the parameters to an empty object
whenever it is null or omitted, which brings sd-varlink into compliance
with this rule in UAPI.20
