bitbake: data_smart: Fix inactive overide accidental variable value corruption

Setting something like:

  BAR:append:unusedoverride

should cause BAR to be None, not "" which was what the datastore was
returning. This caused problems when mixing variables like:

  RDEPENDS:${PN}:inactiveoverride
  RDEPENDS:${BPN}

since key expansion would report key overlap when there was none. This
is a bug in the datastore. Fix it and add a test too.
