In issues #7944 and #10625 it was noticed that by assigning an empty
string to a non-string type (int, date, etc.) using INSERT or
INSERT JSON, some combinations of the above can create "empty" values
while they should produce a clear error.
The tests added in this patch explore the different combinations of
types and insert modes, and reproduce several buggy cases in Scylla
(resulting in xfail'ing tests) as well as Cassandra.
We feared that there might be a way using those buggy statements to
create a partition with an empty key - something which used to kill
older versions of Scylla. But the tests show that this is not possible -
while a user can use the buggy statements to create an empty value,
Scylla refuses it when it is used as a single-column partition key.

Closes#10628
We had in test_null.py a mixture of tests for null values and the
"null" CQL keyword - and tests for empty values. Null and empty
values are *not* the same thing, and there is no reason to keep the
tests for the two things in the same file and further confuse these
two distinct concepts.
This patch just moves code from test_null.py into a new test_empty.py -
there are no functional changes.
