[PATCH] param: return error when assigning empty string

The fallback path that allows specifying enum values by index returns an
error if *endp != '\0' to account for invalid values like my.enum.param=1z.
This fails to account for the corner case of the empty string which
would also have *endp == '\0; with idx being the default 0.
Check for that explicitly and return an error.
