Harald Welte 04c1302b68 tlv: Don't require encoder/decoder methods for TLV without value ...

There are instances where a TLV IE is used as just a flag, i.e.
length zero and no value part.  In those situations, it would require
a lot of boilerplate code to require the TLV_IE class definitions to
have _to_bytes/_from_bytes methods that do nothing.

So instead, add a shortcut: If we want to encode 'None', then return
b'', and if we want to decode b'' return None.
