dshbak: Handle hostname of "0"

@garlick found that dshbak can't handle the smallest of numbers.
    This is because dshbak skips lines where $tag resolves to false.
    But in perl, 0 is also false.

What we really want to check for is an "empty" tag, so fix up the
    test to reflect that.

Resolves #70.

breaks handling of empty input to dshbak, since now the variable
"$tag" can be used when it is uninitialized. The proper fix for
issue #70 was to check if the variable was either uninitialized or
an empty string.

Fixes #132
