Always pass the id to chardev_new, since it is needed to register the yank instance for the chardev. Also, after checking that nothing calls chardev_new with id=NULL, assert() that id!=NULL. This fixes a crash when using chardev-change to change a chardev to chardev-socket, which attempts to register a yank instance. This in turn tries to dereference the NULL-pointer.
