`conf.lib.clang_getCString` may sometimes (though seemingly rarely) return 
`None` instead of a Python `str`. `_CXString.from_result()` is used in a lot of 
places throughout this file, and while parts of it seem to be aware of this 
(e.g. doc string saying that this may return `None`) other places are not (e.g. 
calling `len` on the return value). Many parts of the interface also directly 
return the result of this function, and having to check for `None` in all of 
these places seems potentially impractical, so I went for returning empty 
strings instead of `None` instead.

But due to the inconsistent usage throughout this file, I'm not sure how far 
this corresponds more or less to the original intention.
