If they were using m4_ifdef([AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD]), they were broken unless
they also checked its contents (in which case m4_ifset is the most compact
way to check that it is both defined and non-empty) - this patch does not
change the fact that it is valid to be defined but empty, in which case
logging is disabled.

I still don't think there is an issue by having m4sh provide a default
empty definition.
