sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty file

Browse Source 
`git add` of an empty file with a filter pops complaints from
`copy_fd` about a bad file descriptor.

This traces back to these lines in sha1_file.c:index_core:

	if (!size) {
		ret = index_mem(sha1, NULL, size, type, path, flags);

The problem here is that content to be added to the index can be
supplied from an fd, or from a memory buffer, or from a pathname. This
call is supplying a NULL buffer pointer and a zero size.

Downstream logic takes the complete absence of a buffer to mean the
data is to be found elsewhere -- for instance, these, from convert.c:

	if (params->src) {
		write_err = (write_in_full(child_process.in, params->src, params->size) < 0);
	} else {
		write_err = copy_fd(params->fd, child_process.in);
	}

~If there's a buffer, write from that, otherwise the data must be coming
from an open fd.~

Perfectly reasonable logic in a routine that's going to write from
either a buffer or an fd.

So change `index_core` to supply an empty buffer when indexing an empty
file.

There's a patch out there that instead changes the logic quoted above to
take a `-1` fd to mean "use the buffer", but it seems to me that the
distinction between a missing buffer and an empty one carries intrinsic
semantics, where the logic change is adapting the code to handle
incorrect arguments.
