Remove ill-conceived ban on zero length json object keys.
We removed a similar ban on this in json_object recently, but the ban in datum_to_json was left, which generate4d sprutious errors in othee json generators, notable json_build_object. Along the way, add an assertion that datum_to_json is not passed a null key. All current callers comply with this rule, but the assertion will catch any possible future misbehaviour.
