Now that the QMP output visitor supports an explicit null
output, we should utilize it to make it easier to diagnose
the difference between a missing fdt vs. a present-but-empty
one.

(Note that this reverts the behavior of commit ab8bf1d, taking
us back to the behavior of commit 6c2f9a1 [which in turn
stemmed from a crash fix in 1d10b44]; but that this time,
the change is intentional and not an accidental side-effect.)

Please spell out that we change the value from {} to null.
