[PATCHv3 1/5] builtin/notes: Fix premature failure when trying to add the empty blob

[Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>]

This fixes a small buglet when trying to explicitly add the empty blob
as a note object using the -c or -C option to git notes add/append.
Instead of failing with a nonsensical error message indicating that the
empty blob does not exist, we should rather behave as if an empty notes
message was given (e.g. using -m "" or -F /dev/null).

The next patch contains a test that verifies the fixed behavior.
