Rasmus Villemoes f7e7c55e53 cmd: test: add bug-compatibility special case for 'test -n'
It turns out that there is lots of code in the wild, including in the
U-Boot tree itself, which used to rely on

  test -n $somevar

to yield false when $somevar is not defined or empty. See for example
all the occurrences of 'test -n $fdtfile'. That was really only a
quirk of the implementation that refused calls with argc < 3, and not
because it was interpreted as

  test -n "$somevar"

which is how this should be spelled.

While not exactly conforming to POSIX, we can accomodate such scripts
by special-casing a single argument "-n" to be interpreted as if it
comes from code as above with empty $somevar.

Since we only just added the ability to test a string for emptiness
using the single-argument form, it is very unlikely that there is code
doing

  test "$str"

which would now fail if $str happens to be exactly "-n"; such a test
should really always be spelled

  test -n "$str"
