Bad rendering when series data is an empty object

[lucasmauro]

Expected behaviour

When series.data contains an empty object as a value, this value is not rendered.

Actual behaviour

When series.data contains an empty object as a value, a 0 floats around the chart.

Thank you for reporting. Workaround: Use null points - example.

Issue since 4.2.7.

Fails since 7903240 - the point now has shapeArgs even when it's null.

@TorsteinHonsi the commit looks like promising, but unfortunately it breaks the treemap labels. #4812.

[TorsteinHonsi]

You're right. Reopening this. I think instead we need to go back to the fix for #3169 and move that logic to the drilldown module, since it's the only place where we expect a null column to have a shape. It also shaves off some bloat from the core.

Internal note
I think that one of possibly solutions is checking point.plotY and then set a null for the y param (point init function). It seems not be perfect, but pass all tests as I see.

The issue seems to be solved in since HC v7.0.0.

Please reopen if problem will be valid.
