Teach copy_string to return NULL on empty string

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().
