[syslog-ng] exclude empty pairs from json-parser()

[Scheidler, Balázs]

Hi,

Hmm, it was a feature to handle zero length values properly, and at the
same time I've added the unset() rewrite operation, which causes name-value
pairs to be omitted.

It might make sense to add a --skip-empty-values or similar option to
$(format-json), would that solve your problem? Can you elaborate your
use-case?

Thanks
