fix(daemon-conf): reject empty hosts/auth allow-lists (C4)

A present hosts allow/hosts deny/auth users key with an empty or
separator-only value produced a zero-length list, silently meaning no
ACL / no auth and contradicting the strict-parse contract.

store_host_list and the auth users parser now track how many entries a
present key actually added and fail the load with a clear error when it
is zero, so a restrictive directive can never silently become open.
Unit tests cover empty, whitespace-only and comma-only values.
