Why I did it
Fixes #21140
In #20024 and sonic-net/sonic-swss-common#906, we made the change that when a control character is read, zmq_message_read will return with rc 0, which will create an empty internal event.
As part of eventd design, empty structured events are dropped, which leads to control characters being a no-op which is the expected behavior.
In UT, we are still always expecting a control character to be the first message to be read by zmq which is not the case as described in #20024. We are also not ignoring empty events that are read which is being done by eventd.
With this change, control characters are properly ignored if it does after the first test event.
