fix(#469): broker blank-field GET leaked the echoed key line

extractScalarValue required ' = ' (space-equals-space) and trimRight()'d first,
so a blank field's reply 'key =' (no space after =) failed the match and the
whole 'mqtt.broker.N.field =' line leaked in as the value. Split on the first
'=' and trim instead: blank -> empty, values with '=' preserved. Regression
tests added.
