git-p4: fix empty file processing for large file system backend GitLFSls/p4-empty-file-on-lfs

If git-p4 tried to store an empty file in GitLFS then it crashed while
parsing the pointer file:

  oid = re.search(r'^oid \w+:(\w+)', pointerFile, re.MULTILINE).group(1)
  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

This happens because GitLFS does not create a pointer file for an empty
file. Teach git-p4 this behavior to fix the problem and add a test case.
