Eric Blake cc5e2a849c command: improve behavior on no output
Guarantee that outbuf/errbuf are allocated on success, even if to the
empty string.  Caller always has to free the result, and empty output
check requires checking if *outbuf=='\0'.  Makes the API easier to use
safely.  Failure is best effort allocation (some paths, like
out-of-memory, cannot allocate a buffer, but most do), so caller must
free buffer on failure.

* docs/internals/command.html.in: Update documentation.
* src/util/command.c (virCommandSetOutputBuffer)
(virCommandSetErrorBuffer, virCommandProcessIO) Guarantee empty
string on no output.
* tests/commandtest.c (test17): New test.
