In subsurface we store no value as a NULL pointer everywhere, but sometimes some structures returns a empty field as a empty string.
This teaches our helper copy_string to return NULL if you try to copy a empty string. This fixes a bug where we store buddy and divemaster in git as empty strings if they passed via MainTab::saveTaggedStrings().
