git: Improve diff performance (#54435)

Previously, passing an empty range to `range_to_buffer_range` would
return no ranges, which would trigger a fallback case in the git diff
that caused the entire multibuffer to be invalidated every frame.

This PR fixes `range_to_buffer_range`, so that it returns a sensible
range if the input range is empty, preventing the fallback behaviour and
edit expansion.
