Check if input is VA only w/o any base address info

* Add helper function to detect VA-only input. Fixes #116.
* Add the check for VA-only input in the GUI.
* Add automated tests for VA-only input detection.
* Fix unrelated dormant bug where module base address info was not
  cleared if empty string input was provided.
