ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsers

Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".

Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.

Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)".  Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.
