If a port name is empty, then the SSA-name cannot match, and we must print the port names as an attribute instead. This PR removes a bogus check in the module printer, which prevents us from printing the port names attribute, if the port name is empty.
With this PR, modules with empty port names should round trip correctly.
When lower-layers converts layerblocks into modules, a lot of the time there is no good name for the port, so it generates an empty port name. With this patch, these modules will now correctly print the port names attribute, so the tests had to be updated to match against the attribute dictionary.
