Fix gerrit_util to use non None body.

Gerrit requires Content-Length to be set for POST requests.
httplib Python library has a bug which doesn't set Content-Length
if the body is empty.

Python BUGS:
https://bugs.python.org/issue14721 (partial fix)
https://bugs.python.org/issue23539 (full fix)

The full fix only appears in 2.7.11 release changelog
(technically, it's been fixed in 2.7.10 rc1, but 2.7.10 was not
released):
