builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notes

Although the "git notes" man page advertises that we support binary-safe
notes addition (using the -C option), we currently do not support adding
the empty note (i.e. using the empty blob to annotate an object). Instead,
an empty note is always treated as an intent to remove the note
altogether.

Introduce the --allow-empty option to the add/append/edit subcommands,
to explicitly allow an empty note to be stored into the notes tree.

Also update the documentation, and add test cases for the new option.
