pygrub: always append --args

If a bootloader entry in menu.lst has no additional kernel command line
options listed and the domU.cfg has 'bootargs="--args=something"' the
additional arguments from the config file are not passed to the kernel.
The reason for that incorrect behaviour is that run_grub appends arg
only if the parsed config file has arguments listed.

Fix this by appending args from image section and the config file separatly.
To avoid adding to a NoneType initialize grubcfg['args'] to an empty string.
This does not change behaviour but simplifies the code which appends the
string.
