[virt-tools-list] [virt-manager PATCH] inspection: fix check of null icon

Recently the Python binding of libguestfs was adapted to properly use
bytes in APIs that return data, instead of (ab)using strings [1].
This change was done only when built for Python 3, which has this
distinct bytes and strings.

Because of that, now the 'icon == ""' (empty string) checks fail, using
whatever inspect_get_icon() returns, including empty arrays of bytes.
Hence, change the checks to use the length of the data as condition, as
also the libguestfs Python API documentation says.  Leave also the
checks for None, in the remote case the API will return None in the
future for no data.
