A helper function for traversing a comma separated list of values.
It returns a list pointer shifted to the next value or NULL if the end
of the list found.
The value is stored in a val vector. If the value has a form "x=y", then eq_val
vector is initialised to point to the "y" part, and val vector length
is adjusted to point only to "x".
If the list is just a comma separated list of entries, like "aa,bb,cc" then
`eq_val` will contain zero-length string.

The purpose of this function is to parse comma separated string without
any copying/memory allocation.
