params: fix skipping of params dvc.lock when it's a falsy value (#4185)

The falsy values were being skipped when merging params values
from dvc.yaml and dvc.lock, showing the values as always changed.

These values were never added to `info`, but were found in
`self.params` making them appear as changed.

Fixes #4184
