get_config / unit tests MDL-24977 get_config('a_plugin'); should return something...

It was always casting the result to an object, even when it was an empty array. I changed it to return null in this case. So that if (get_config('a_plugin')) { /* Do something relying on the pugin having config */ ) works.
