Description

After updating to Burrow 1.0 I noticed we're receiving alerts for a `'null'` consumer group and it has no status. This is for info from a 0.8.x cluster.

```
The Kafka consumer groups you are monitoring are currently showing problems. The following groups are in a problem state (groups not listed are OK):
Cluster: kafka
Group: null
Status:
Complete: 1
Errors: 24 partitions have problems
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the alert with a Kafka 0.8.x cluster and trace how the monitored consumer-group data becomes the alert message. Done means Burrow no longer reports a 'null' consumer group with an empty status, while valid group alerts remain correct.
