[virt-tools-list] [RFC virt-viewer 08/12] util: Improve empty string handling in virt_viewer_compare_buildid

[Christophe Fergeau]

When getting NULL or "" for one of the buildid components, it will be
considered as less than the other component, unless the other component
is also NULL or "". This matches what g_strcmp0 does and what strcmp
does for "" strings.
