Providing an empty string for the backing file parameter like so:

	qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b '' /tmp/foo

allows the flow of control to reach and subsequently fail an assert
statement because passing an empty string to

	bdrv_get_full_backing_filename_from_filename()

simply results in NULL being returned without an error being raised.

To fix this, let's check for an empty string when getting the value from
the opts list.

v3:
  - Moved test case into 049 instead of taking up
    298.

v2:
  - Removed 4 spaces to resolve pylint warning
  - Updated format to be 'iotests.imgfmt' instead
    of hardcoding 'qcow2'
  - Use temporary file instead of '/tmp/foo'
  - Give a size parameter to qemu-img
  - Run test for qcow2, qcow, qed and *not* raw
