[8.16](backport #6598) Emit vars even if provider data is empty from the start#6607
Conversation
We only signal from providers if the emitted data is different from the current state. This caused a bug where the data wasn't ever emitted if it was empty. The provider controller now distinguishes between no data (yet) and empty data. As a result, it's again possible to effectively disable all providers by using a local provider with no data. This is a regression caused by #6114. It doesn't apply to the main and 8.x branches due to #6169 refactoring provider initialisation in those. (cherry picked from commit 8ea9439)

What does this PR do?
We only signal from providers if the emitted data is different from the current state. This caused a bug where the data wasn't ever emitted if it was empty. The provider controller now distinguishes between no data (yet) and empty data. As a result, it's again possible to effectively disable all providers by using a local provider with no data.
This is a regression caused by #6114. It doesn't apply to the main and 8.x branches due to #6169 refactoring provider initialization in those.
Why is it important?
Fixes a regression where agent wouldn't generate any configuration if the only enabled context providers only emitted empty data. This is something users do if they want to effectively disable providers.
