Subject: libexpr: Fix prim_replaceStrings() to work on an empty source string

Otherwise, running e.g.

nix-instantiate --eval -E --strict 'builtins.replaceStrings [""] ["X"] "abc"'

would just hang in an infinite loop.

Found by afl-fuzz.

First attempt of this was reverted in e2d71bd1862cdda because it caused
another infinite loop, which is fixed now and a test added.
