[PATCH] promisor-remote: fix segfault when remote URL is missing

Pushing NULL into a 'strvec' results in a segfault, as 'strvec' is a kind of NULL terminated array that is designed to be compatible with 'argv' variables used on the command line.

So when an URL is missing from the config, let's push an empty string instead of NULL into the 'strvec' that stores URLs.
