[PATCH v4 0/1] quote: handle null and empty strings in sq_quote_buf_pretty()

Hey,

Empty arguments passed on the command line can be a represented by a '', however sq_quote_buf_pretty was incorrectly dropping these arguments altogether. Fix this problem by ensuring that such arguments are emitted as '' instead.

Looking forward to your review. Cheers! Garima Singh

     -    when the incoming string is empty, but the function is to
     -    accumulate command line arguments, properly quoted as
     -    necessary, and the right way to add an argument that is an
     -    empty string is to show it quoted, i.e. ''. We warn the caller
     -    with the BUG macro is they pass in a NULL.
