Make GetConfigOption/GetConfigOptionResetString return "" for NULL. 

As per the preceding commit, GUC APIs generally expose NULL-valued
string variables as empty strings.  Extend that policy to
GetConfigOption() and GetConfigOptionResetString(), eliminating
a crash hazard for unwary callers, as well as a fundamental
ambiguity in GetConfigOption()'s API.

No back-patch, since this is an API change and conceivably somebody
somewhere is depending on this corner case.
