Title:
  netplan backported on bionic (0.40~18.04.1) crash when there is an
  empty YAML configuration file

Status in netplan:
  Confirmed
Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in netplan.io source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Any Netplan user leaving empty files in /etc/netplan.

  [Test case]

  1) put a valid configuration under /etc/netplan/
  2) create an empty YAML file /etc/netplan/99-empty.yaml
  3) execute netplan apply

  Validate that 'netplan apply' does not crash, and correctly applies
  the configuration.

  
  [Regression potential]
  Watch out for issues in merging netplan configuration or evaluating the parts of configuration that can't be reverted safely, for the use of 'netplan try'.

  This is a regression with the previous version.
