Description

The QgsPoint class does not properly store empty point geometries. For example, from the python console in QGIS 3.0.3:

> QgsPoint().isEmpty()
False

> print(QgsPoint().asWkt())
Point (0 0)

> print(QgsPoint().createEmptyWithSameType().asWkt())
Point (nan nan)

In comparison, for a LineString:

> QgsLineString().isEmpty()
True

> print(QgsLineString().asWkt())
LineString ()

The results observed for LineString are consistent with those for QgsPolygon and QgsGeometryCollection.
