Log Message:
-----------
Fix buffer allocations in encoding conversion routines so that they won't
fail on zero-length inputs.  This isn't an issue in normal use because the
conversion infrastructure skips calling the converters for empty strings.
However a problem was created by yesterday's patch to check whether the
right conversion function is supplied in CREATE CONVERSION.  The most
future-proof fix seems to be to make the converters safe for this corner case.
