This patch fixes a bug where labels use the same behavior as `--env`, resulting
in a value to be copied from environment variables with the same name as the
label if no value is set (i.e. a simple key, no `=` sign, no value).
An earlier pull request addressed similar cases for `docker run`;
2b17f4c8a8, but this did not address the
same situation for (e.g.) `docker service create`.
Digging in history for this bug, I found that use of the `ValidateEnv`
function for labels was added in the original implementation of the labels feature in
abb5e9a077 (diff-ae476143d40e21ac0918630f7365ed3cR34)
However, the design never intended it to expand environment variables,
and use of this function was either due to either a "copy/paste" of the
equivalent `--env` flags, or a misunderstanding (the name `ValidateEnv` does
not communicate that it also expands environment variables), and the existing
`ValidateLabel` was designed for _engine_ labels (which required a value to
be set).
Following the initial implementation, other parts of the code followed
the same (incorrect) approach, therefore leading the bug to be introduced
in services as well.
This patch:
- updates the `ValidateLabel` to match the expected validation
rules (this function is no longer used since 31dc5c0a9a),
and the daemon has its own implementation)
- corrects various locations in the code where `ValidateEnv` was used instead of `ValidateLabel`.
Before this patch:
```bash
export SOME_ENV_VAR=I_AM_SOME_ENV_VAR
docker service create --label SOME_ENV_VAR --tty --name test busybox
docker service inspect --format '{{json .Spec.Labels}}' test
{"SOME_ENV_VAR":"I_AM_SOME_ENV_VAR"}
```
After this patch:
```bash
export SOME_ENV_VAR=I_AM_SOME_ENV_VAR
docker service create --label SOME_ENV_VAR --tty --name test busybox
docker container inspect --format '{{json .Config.Labels}}' test
{"SOME_ENV_VAR":""}
```

previously docker did import environment variables if they were present
but created them if they were not when it was asked via a --env-file
cli option to import but not create them.
fix is to only import the variable into the environment if it is present.
additionally do not import variable names of zero-length (which are lines
w/ a potential variable definition w/o a variable name).

`--label-file` has the exact same behavior as `--env-file`, meaning any
placeholder (i.e. a simple key, no `=` sign, no value), it will get the
value from the environment variable.
For `--label-file` it should just add an empty label.
