[PATCH 1/2] virNetMessageEncodePayloadRaw: Tolerate empty 'data'

[Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

'virNetMessageEncodePayloadRaw' is not supposed to be called with 'NULL'
data, but the code path from 'virNetClientStreamSendPacket' does so.

Now 'virNetMessageEncodePayloadEmpty' is intended for such case, but
since it's just a sub-set of steps from 'virNetMessageEncodePayloadRaw'
it's more straightforward to add NULL-tolerance to 'virNetMessageEncodePayloadRaw'
and subsequently remove 'virNetMessageEncodePayloadEmpty'.

Closes: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/308
