## Message

```
project: Fix empty files not downloading from a remote project (#51571)

- check `content_size==0`
- entry is removed from `downloading_files`
- empty file is writte via `smol::fs::write(..., &[])`

this means the receiver handles the empty files completely as soon as
the State message arrives, without ever needing a Chunk that will never
come

Closes #51551
