[PATCH 1/2 v3] smbios: Simplify reporting of unknown values

If a value is not valid during the DT or SYSINFO parsing,  we explicitly
set that to "Unknown Product" and "Unknown" for the product and
manufacturer respectively.  It's cleaner if we move the checks insisde
smbios_add_prop_si() and provide an alternative string in case the
primary is NULL or empty

pre-patch dmidecode
<snip>
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
        Manufacturer: Unknown
        Product Name: Unknown Product
        Version: Not Specified
        Serial Number: Not Specified
        UUID: Not Settable
        Wake-up Type: Reserved
        SKU Number: Not Specified
        Family: Not Specified

post-patch dmidecode:

Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
        Manufacturer: Unknown
        Product Name: Unknown
        Version: Unknown
        Serial Number: Unknown
        UUID: Not Settable
        Wake-up Type: Reserved
        SKU Number: Unknown
        Family: Unknown
[...]

While at it make smbios_add_prop_si() add a string directly if the prop
node is NULL and replace smbios_add_string() calls with
smbios_add_prop_si(ctx, NULL, ....)

Changes since v2:
- refactor even more code and remove the smbios_add_string calls from the
  main code. Instead use smbios_add_prop() foir everything and add a
  default value, in case the parsed one is NULL or emtpy
Changes since v1:
- None
