Willy Tarreau 49585049b9 MINOR: tools: have parse_line's error pointer point to unknown variable names
When an argument is empty, parse_line() currently returns a pointer to
the empty string itself. This is convenient, but it's only actionable by
the user who will see for example "${HAPROXY_LOCALPEER}" and figure what
is wrong. Here we slightly change the reported pointer so that if an empty
argument results from the evaluation of an empty variable (meaning that
all variables in string are empty and no other char is present), then
instead of pointing to the opening quote, we'll return a pointer to the
first character of the variable's name. This will allow to make a
difference between an empty variable and an unknown variable, and for
the caller to take action based on this.

I.e. before we would get:

    log "${LOG_SERVER_IP}" local0
        ^

if LOG_SERVER_IP is not set, and now instead we'll get this:

    log "${LOG_SERVER_IP}" local0
           ^
