Description:
If MySqlCommand.CommandText equal to null, then MySqlCommand.ExecuteReader() throw NullReferenceException instead of InvalidOperationException.

How to repeat:
MySqlConnection connection=new MySqlConnection(@"<ConnectionString>");
connection.Open();
new MySqlCommand(null,connection).ExecuteReader();

Suggested fix:
Do not allow MySqlCommand.CommandText to be null. Set it to empty string, when null is assigned.

Added to changelog for 6.5.2: 

If MySqlCommand.CommandText was equal to null, then
MySqlCommand.ExecuteReader() would throw the wrong exception:
NullReferenceException instead of InvalidOperationException.
