prompt: Avoid using unset variables

After `set -u` in Bash, the Git prompt would not be displayed and the
error `bash: GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE: unbound variable` would be
printed, due to `GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE` being unset by default
when it gets used.

This change sets a default value of an empty string to use when the
variable is unset to explicitly make the behaviour consistent between
`set -u` and `set +u`.

This fixes #2799
