gdb: check for empty strings in get_standard_cache_dir/get_standard_config_dir
As reported in PR 27157, if some environment variables read at startup
by GDB are defined but empty, we hit the assert in gdb_abspath:
$ XDG_CACHE_HOME= ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q

gdb_abspath doesn't handle empty strings, so handle this case in the
callers. If a variable is defined but empty, I think it's reasonable in
this case to just ignore it, as if it was not defined.
Note that this sometimes also lead to a segfault, because the failed
assertion happens very early during startup, before things are fully
initialized.
