gdb: add empty string check in parse_linespec

If parse_linespec (linespec.c) is passed ARG as an empty string then
we end up calling `strchr (linespec_quote_characters, '\0')`, which
will return a pointer to the '\0' at the end of
linespec_quote_characters.  This then results in GDB calling
skip_quote_char with `ARG + 1`, which is undefined behaviour (as ARG
only contained a single character, the '\0').

Fix this by checking for the first character of ARG being '\0' before
the call to strchr.

I have additionally added an assertion that ARG can't itself be
nullptr, as calling is_ada_operator with nullptr can end up calling
'startswith' on the nullptr, which is undefined behaviour.

Finally, I moved the declaration of TOKEN into the body of
parse_linespec, to where TOKEN is defined.

This patch came about while I was working on fixes for PR cli/28665
and PR gdb/28797.  The actual fixes for these two issues will be in a
later commit in this series, but, with this patch in place, both of
the above bugs would hit the new assertion rather than accessing
invalid memory and crashing.  The '\0' check is not currently ever
hit, but just makes the code a little safer.

Because this patch only changes the nature of the failure for the
above two bugs, there's no tests here.  A later commit will fix the
above two issues, at which point I'll add some tests.
