    diff: fix OOM on AIX when finding similar deltas in empty diff
    
    The function `git_diff_find_similar` keeps a function of cache
    similarity metrics signatures, whose size depends on the number of
    deltas passed in via the `diff` parameter. In case where the diff is
    empty and thus doesn't have any deltas at all, we may end up allocating
    this cache via a call to `git__calloc(0, sizeof(void *))`. At least on
    AIX, allocating 0 bytes will result in a `NULL` pointer being returned,
    which causes us to erroneously return an OOM error.
    
    Fix this situation by simply returning early in case where we are being
    passed an empty diff, as we cannot find any similarities in that case
    anyway.
