Make empty byte arrays pass CheckSignatureEncoding()
Makes it possible to compactly provide a delibrately invalid signature for use with CHECK(MULTI)SIG. For instance with BIP19 if m != n invalid signatures need to be provided in the scriptSig; prior to this change those invalid signatures would need to be large DER-encoded signatures. Note that we may want to further expand on this change in the future by saying that only OP_0 is a "valid" invalid signature; BIP19 even with this change is inherently malleable as the invalid signatures can be any validly encoded DER signature.
