Empty strings and NULL strings in taglists shouldn't be allowed in the first
place, and any plugins that do that should be fixed IMHO, so let's disallow
that in GStreamer:

 commit 30c890c7a2b8140da0ac2fd964a7023cd5fb22ca
 Author: Tim-Philipp Müller <tim.muller at collabora.co.uk>

    taglists: warn if someone tries to add empty or NULL string tags to a
taglist

    Also warn if an element or application tries to add a field with an
    empty string to a structure (NULL strings are still needed and
    allowed though) and do all those checks in the right function.

    Fixes #559643.
