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.
test that 'hg commit' does not crash if the user removes a newly added file
$ hg init
$ echo This is file a1 > a
$ hg add a
$ hg commit -m "commit #0"
$ touch b
$ hg add b
$ rm b
$ hg commit -A -m"comment #1"
removing b
nothing changed
