Allow zero-argument rx `or' and `seq' forms
Make the rx `or' and `seq' forms accept zero arguments to produce a
never-matching regexp and an empty string, respectively.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/rx.el: Require cl-extra.
(rx-constituents, rx-or): Permit zero args.
(rx): Amend doc string for `or' and `seq'.
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/rx-tests.el (rx-or, rx-seq): Test the change.
* etc/NEWS (Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages): Mention the change.
