bdiff: fix malloc(0) issue in fixws()

If fixws() is called on a zero-length string, malloc(0) is called and
expected to return a pointer. Which it does on e.g. Linux. AIX returns
NULL, which it is also legal, but the malloc() is then assumed to have
failed. So ensure a valid pointer is always returned.

  $ hg init

  $ touch to-be-deleted
  $ hg add
  adding to-be-deleted
  $ hg ci -m first
  $ echo a > to-be-deleted
  $ hg ci -m second
  $ rm to-be-deleted
  $ hg diff -r 0

Same issue, different code path

  $ hg up -C
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ touch doesnt-exist-in-1
  $ hg add
  adding doesnt-exist-in-1
  $ hg ci -m third
  $ rm doesnt-exist-in-1
  $ hg diff -r 1
