qmp: allow setting properties to empty string in qmp-shell
The qmp-shell property parser currently rejects attempts to
set string properties to the empty string eg
(QEMU) migrate-set-parameters tls-hostname=
Error while parsing command line: Expected a key=value pair, got 'tls-hostname='
command format: <command-name> [arg-name1=arg1] ... [arg-nameN=argN]
This is caused by checking the wrong condition after splitting
the parameter on '='. The "partition" method will return "" for
the separator field, if the seperator was not present, so that
is the correct thing to check for malformed syntax.
