parse_bool() should return -1 in case it is called with an empty
string. In order to allow boolean parameters in the cmdline without
specifying a value this case must be handled in _cmdline_parse() by
always passing a value string.

This fixes commit 532dec8e31174ed450adfd36a4b0b41dec27010d ("xen:
add an optional string end parameter to parse_bool()")

I've exercised this with some of the more weird callers of parse_bool(),
and everything appears to be in order.  Tested, Reviewed and committed,
thanks.
