A per-test override can clear an inherited default option by assigning an
empty value, but __set_test_option() still used option_defined() to decide
whether a per-test key existed. That turned an empty per-test assignment
back into "fall back to the default", so tests still could not clear
inherited settings.

For example:

  DEFAULTS
  (...)
  LOG_FILE = /tmp/ktest-empty-override.log
  CLEAR_LOG = 1
  ADD_CONFIG = /tmp/.config

  TEST_START
  TEST_TYPE = build
  BUILD_TYPE = nobuild
  ADD_CONFIG =

This would run the test with ADD_CONFIG[1] = /tmp/.config

Fix by checking whether the per-test key exists before falling back. If it
does exist but is empty, treat it as unset for that test and stop the
fallback chain there.
