Improve test_properties output (#1024)

* test_properties: show which property got removed, improve handling for empties

* output which properties are being tested

* pad the name of the property to test for easier reading

* consider all but Nones as non-empties, use repr for printing the value

* Assign only non-nones to the valid properties

* handle empty lists as nones for validation
