Fix infinite loop with zero-length options.

The bundled copy of GYP enters an infinite loop when it encounters a
zero-length option so ensure those don't get through.

The root cause is a bad guard in gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py that doesn't
take into account that `'' in 'whatever'` evaluates to True.

Upstream fix at https://codereview.chromium.org/1364373004/.
