dmeventd: event string parser handles empty field

Improve event string parser to avoid unneeded alloc+free.

Daemon talk function uses '-' to mark NULL/missing field.
So restore the NULL pointer back on parser.

This should have made old tools like 'dmevent_tool' work again.
As now 'uuid' or 'dso' could become NULL and then be
properly used in _want_registered_device() function.

Since lvm2 always fill these parameters, this change should
have no effect on lvm2.

 Version 1.02.110 - 
 ======================================
+  Fix/restore parsing of empty field '-' when processing dmeventd event.
   Enhance dm_tree_node_size_changed() to recognize size reduction.
   Support exit on idle for dmenventd (1 hour).
   Add support to allow unmonitor device from plugin itself.
