We got a bug report where someone was iterating over the modules and wanted to verify that the module name was empty and noticed it didn't trigger.
```
for module in target.module_iter():
if module.file is None or module.file == "":
# Do something
```
My initial hypothesis was that we were somehow skipping modules, but upon further investigation, it was the string comparison that was the culprit. The reporter (reasonably) expected the `file` property to return a string, but in reality it returns a SBFileSpec.
This could be avoided by explicitly comparing with an empty FileSpec, but that seems needlessly tedious.
```
for module in target.module_iter():
if module.file is None or module.file == lldb.SBFileSpec(""):
# Do something
```
Instead, add support for comparing a SBFileSpec against a string.
