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
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

Do we ever miss a sub-second change?:

  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20; do
  >     hg co -qC 0
  >     echo b > a
  >     hg st
  > done
