Handle empty rows/columns in input #6

Decide what should happen if

there is a source that makes no claims
there is a variable with no sources

Possible options are:

Always raise an error
Print a warning
Give 0/None for belief/trust

Note that Average.Log cannot be used if there is a source that makes no claims, since we take the logarithm (and divide by) the number of claims made

This is no longer an issue, since an empty row/column will not generate and tuples in MatrixDataset.get_triples
