varbind was designed to allow both a ber NULL and a NULL pointer for
value. The ber NULL case is there for when it was received via a PDU.
The NULL pointer case can happen if application.c runs into a timeout
or when a backend runs into problems.
The NULL pointer case however was overlooked in appl_varbind_valid and
results in an "missing value" error, (needlessly) terminating the
connection to the backend.
Found the hard way by Mischa Peters while stress testing agentx support
for vmd.
