string: Allow collect --allow-empty to avoid empty ellision (#8054)
* string: Allow `collect --no-empty` to avoid empty ellision

Currently we still have that issue where

    test -n (thing | string collect)

can return true if `thing` doesn't print anything, because the
collected argument will still be removed.

So, what we do is allow `--no-empty` to be used, in which case we
print one empty argument.

This means

    test -n (thing | string collect -n)

can now be safely used.

"no-empty" isn't the best name for this flag, but string's design
really incentivizes reusing names, and it's not *terrible*.

* Switch to `--allow-empty`

`--no-empty` does the exact opposite for `string split` and split0.

Since `-a`/`--allow-empty` already exists, use it.
