[PATCH v2 01/15] qemu: Handle quirks of 'device' field of BLOCK_IO_ERROR event in monitor code

BLOCK_IO_ERROR's 'device' field is an empty string in case when it isn't applicable as it was originally mandatory in the qemu API docs. Move the logic that convert's empty string back to NULL from 'qemuProcessHandleIOError()' to 'qemuMonitorJSONHandleIOError()' This also fixes a hypothetical NULL-dereference if qemu would indeed report an IO error without the 'device' field present.
