mesa: avoid NULL ptr in prog parameter name

Context: _mesa_add_parameter is sometimes[0] called with a
NULL name as a mean of an unnamed parameter.

Allowing NULL pointer as a name means that it must be NULL checked
each access. So far it isn't always[1] true.

Parameter name is only used for debug purpose (printf) and
to lookup the index/location of the program by the application.

Conclusion, there is no valid reason to use a NULL pointer instead of
an empty string. So it was decided to use an empty string which avoid all
issues related to NULL pointer

[0]: texture gather offsets glsl opcode and st_init_atifs_prog
