Keep sections when they become empty

When the last setting of a section was removed, the whole section was
removed unless it contained white space of comments.  In #532, this was
changed to also remove sections that only contained space (blank lines),
but it caused regressions and was reverted in #535.

For consistency, we completely suppress the auto-removal of "empty"
sections: removing the last setting of a section will not remove this
section anymore, just like what happens for sections with only blank
lines and comments.
