[Agent2] Missing parameter validation in case of empty value

      I noticed that agentd and agent2 works inconsistent in some cases when configuration parameter(s) are passed without value.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Open zabbix_agent2.conf file
      • Uncomment for e.g. HeartbeatFrequency= and save the configuration.
      • Start the agent2
      • Do the same steps for agentd
      • Compare results

      Result: Agent2 started successfully, but agentd returns an error ->

      zabbix_agentd [229522]: wrong value of "HeartbeatFrequency" in config file "/home/zabbix/workspace/7.0/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf", line 276
      

      Expected: I guess in this case agent2 should work the same as agentd and it should return an error about wrong or empty value.

      Note: the same behavior (agent2 can be started with empty param value) is for parameters:

      • EnablePersistentBuffer (7.0, master)
      • UnsafeUserParameters (7.0, master)
      • TLSConnect (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSAccept (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSCAFile (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSCRLFile (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSServerCertIssuer (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSServerCertSubject (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSCertFile (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSKeyFile (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSPSKIdentity (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • TLSPSKFile (6.0, 7.0, master)
      • ForceActiveChecksOnStart (only agent2 param, actual for 7.0, master)
        Maybe more.

      IMHO it would be nice to validate empty parameters because it is useful for troubleshooting.
