Guarantee non-empty xml_schema: <feedback> identifies the report, not <version>

The <feedback> XML root element (anchored at the top of
parse_aggregate_report_xml) is what identifies an aggregate report;
<version> is optional metadata per RFC 7489 Appendix C. The "draft"
fallback only covered a fully absent <version>: an empty <version/>
(which xmltodict parses as None) or a whitespace-only value produced
xml_schema=None, which the flat-row serializer coerced to "" — and any
consumer detecting aggregate rows by a non-empty xml_schema, such as
the Google SecOps CBN parser's report-type cascade, silently dropped
the row. The fallback now applies unless <version> carries non-empty
text (attribute-wrapped values are unwrapped via _text like other
elements).

The regression test fails on the previous code with
xml_schema=None != "draft".
