Update expression resolver to return null instead of blank string.

[mattcoley]

It doesn't make sense to return an empty string from the expression resolver if the expression cannot be evaluated due to an exception. Some built-in tags will treat "" differently from null. For example for will treat "" as [""] whereas it should be treated as [].

I could not find a reason why we return empty string here. We used to return false and then that was updated to empty string. The tags that use the expression resolver handle the null value better than empty string.

When was it updated? The only the reason I can think of is that if you're echoing the result back out, we'd rather return an empty string to the page rather than "null".

Here: 1d694cd. The expression resolver is only used in tags: do, for, if, macro, etc. and in the ExpressionNode https://github.com/HubSpot/jinjava/blob/master/src/main/java/com/hubspot/jinjava/tree/ExpressionNode.java#L42. The expression node handles the null value fine by defaulting to empty string.
