    hastd: Fix crash on empty message
    
    A HAST message can be empty, in which case ebuf_add_tail() does nothing
    and ebuf_data() returns NULL because the size of the ebuf is zero, but
    hast_proto_recv_hdr() asserts that the return value is not NULL,
    resulting in an immediate crash if hastctl or hastd receive an empty
    message.  This is trivially reproducable by running `hastctl status` or
    `hastctl role init` (as the rc script does prior to stopping hastd).
    
    To avoid this, don't try to grow the ebuf or receive additional data
    if the header size is zero.
