msxml3/tests: VT_EMPTY is not a string (resend)

Casting a VT_EMPTY to a string gets you a null string.
The test was doing that and taking the string length, then comparing to zero.
Better to simply compare to null; that's a stronger test, and
avoids generating a behind-the-scenes exception.

kernel32/tests is the place to test that lstrlenW( badptr ) == 0,
no need to duplicate that here.

Passes on Wine and XP, and gets rid of the valgrind warning
 Invalid read of size 2
    at  strlenW (unicode.h:212)
    by  lstrlenW (string.c:384)
    by  test_xmlelem (xmlelem.c:83)
    by  func_xmlelem (xmlelem.c:455)
  Address 0x0 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd


[Resending.  Anything wrong with this?]
