Empty or null tags break the Command Palette #14

Using the Insert Tag dialog when there is an empty tag value in the YAML tag array it is replaced with null. i.e.

tag:
  -

is rewritten to:

tag:
  - null

The null value then causes an error that breaks the command palette. The command palette still opens, and I can navigate up and down, but I can't activate any options. The only way I've found to restore it is to close VSCode and reopen. ("Reload Window" also works, but I've removed the keyboard shortcut so can't activate it without command palette.)

I believe this is related to #7 because the list of tags no longer displays if I open the Insert Tag dialog. Here is the console output when the error is triggered:
