fix(mtconnect): serve an empty string-typed value as Good "" (#824)

Browse Source 
Owner decision 2026-11-11 (Java parity): a genuinely empty observation on a
String/Reference or unauthored item is Good "" instead of BadNoCommunication.
Non-string items (numeric, bool, DateTime, arrays) keep BadNoCommunication -
the Agent supplied no value; BadTypeMismatch would wrongly blame the authored
type. The UNAVAILABLE sentinel is unchanged, and a structured observation with
no text stays BadNotSupported (structured check now precedes the empty check).
Parity matrix, quality-mapping section and drivers rule updated.
