 Caps: Fix issue with passing an empty array as an argument in
 `bp_current_user_can()`.

 Changes to `bp_current_user_can()` in #6501 broke older capability checks
 relying on an empty argument to be passed in order to use a fallback
 value.

 Most notably, `bp_current_user_can('bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility'
 )`
 checks now passed by default.  This resulted in the "Change" link to
 always be visible when editing a profile field even if an admin has
 enabled
 "Enforce field visibility" for that particular field.

 This commit fixes this issue by passing a `null` value if there are no
 extra arguments to pass in `bp_current_user_can()`.  Commit also includes
 a unit test.

 See #6730 (trunk).
