Treat empty display server envvars as unset
This makes the DISPLAY, WAYLAND_DISPLAY, WAYLAND_SOCKET, and
KITTY_DISABLE_WAYLAND envvars be treated as unset if they are the empty
string.  Therefore, users can simply do "WAYLAND_DISPLAY= kitty" as
opposed to the full incantation "env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY kitty" (in this
case setting KITTY_DISABLE_WAYLAND would also work, but that wouldn't
propagate to any clients launched through kitty).  This matches the
behavior of many other programs.
