Client ID is reset to b'' after the instantiation of Mqtt object

[vsupacha]

Environment Python 3.7.9 on Windows 10, Jupyter Notebook, Ubuntu 20.04 (WSL) Tested with my target broker, vanilla mosquitto docker, test.mosquitto.org Flask 1.1.2 Flask-MQTT 1.1.1 Paho-MQTT 1.5.1

Issue

1. Internal client ID is reset to b'' even app.config[MQTT_CLIENT_ID] is set.
2. Try a simple workaround, and it is good even string client ID (UUID style).

   app.config['MQTT_CLIENT_ID'] = 'UUID'
   mqtt = Mqtt(app)
   print(mqtt.client._client_id)
   mqtt.client._client_id = app.config['MQTT_CLIENT_ID']

另一种解决办法，将检查MQTT_CLIENT_ID的代码放到检查client_id的对象类型之前。
