Fix mob-in-boat crash in Minetest 5.5-dev
In Minetest 5.4.1, calling get_player_control() on a mob returned the
empty string. Minetest commit 5eb45e1ea03c6104f007efec6dd9c351f310193d
changed this, so now calling get_player_control() on a mob returns nil.

As mcl_boats defines boats that can have a player or a mob as a driver,
code like the following crashes with a changed get_player_control() API:

local ctrl = driver:get_player_control()
if ctrl.sneak then
    detach_object(driver, true)
end

Furthermore, once a world has crashed, joining it near a mob that is the
driver of a boat with such control code immediately crashes again.

When I reported this bug to Minetest, several Minetest core developers
stated that they disliked the old API and proposed other return values
for calling a mob's get_player_control() function – all different from
the empty string. Since I have some doubts that this bug will be fixed
in Minetest 5.5.0, boat code must take into account a nil return value.
