[PULL,4/6] chardev/char.c: Always pass id to chardev_new

Commit Message

Always pass the id to chardev_new, since it is needed to register
the yank instance for the chardev. Also, after checking that
nothing calls chardev_new with id=NULL, assert() that id!=NULL.

This fixes a crash when using chardev-change to change a chardev
to chardev-socket, which attempts to register a yank instance.
This in turn tries to dereference the NULL-pointer.
