The type checker/inferer visits every node in an AST tree, including
function return annotations. This means for a function definition like
def f() -> TTuple([TInt32, TBool]):
...
We attempt to type check the list [TInt32, TBool], which generates the
unification constraint builtins.TBool ~ builtins.TInt. This causes an
internal error due to compiler weirdness.
We can avoid this by just nulling-out the return annotation in the
embedding stage. The return type isn't actually used anywhere (it's
extracted via the inspect module instead), so this is entirely safe.
Arguments aren't affected by this, as we already nulled out the
annotation (see visit_arg in embedding.py).

Receiving an empty string in an RPC call currently panics.
When `length` is zero, a call to the `alloc` function (as implemented in `artiq/firmware/runtime/session.rs`) returns a null pointer. Constructing a `CMutSlice` from a null pointer panics.
A `CMutSlice` consists of a pointer and the length. Rust's documentation of the `core::ptr` module states: "The canonical way to obtain a pointer that is valid for zero-sized accesses is `NonNull::dangling`."
This commits adds a check for the length of a string received in an RPC call. Only for lengths greater than zero a memory allocation is performed. For zero-length strings, a dangling pointer is used.
Test plan:
Invoke the following experiment, which returns an empty string over RPC:
```
class ReturnEmptyString(artiq.experiment.EnvExperiment):
def build(self):
self.core: Core = self.get_device("core")
@kernel
def run(self):
x = self.do_rpc()
print(x)
@rpc
def do_rpc(self) -> TStr:
return ""
```

KeyError raised when trying to load default_state()
due to missing Key "seed" in "RangeScan" and "CenterScan" in
state. Add {"seed": None} to resolve the bug.
According to PEP484, type hint can be a string literal for forward
references. With PEP563, type hint would be preserved in annotations in
string form.
