x11_read_data() parses an 'Option "XkbVariant" ""' line in
00-keyboard.conf with strv_split_full(..., EXTRACT_UNQUOTE), which turns
the empty quoted value into a non-NULL empty string rather than NULL.
Since 812aa57d2c ("string-util: beef up string_is_safe()") an empty
string is rejected by string_is_safe() unless STRING_ALLOW_EMPTY is
passed, so x11_context_is_safe() now refuses such a context and
x11_context_verify() discards the whole thing. As a result "localectl
status" reports "X11 Layout: (unset)" even though the file names a valid
layout, and compositors reading org.freedesktop.locale1 (e.g. the SDDM
greeter) fall back to the us layout.
Introduce x11_context_normalize(), suggested by @lionheartyu, which
converts empty strings to NULL while freeing the heap allocation —
unlike x11_context_empty_to_null() which only NULLs the pointer without
freeing. Call it at the end of x11_read_data(), before
x11_context_verify(), so empty option values are treated as unset. This
also keeps x11_context_equal() comparisons consistent with the setter
path (method_set_x11_keyboard) and vconsole_read_data(), which both
store NULL for empty values.
