3997: Refactor empty arrays/objects should return empty instead of null r=Kerollmops a=dogukanakkaya

# Pull Request

## What does this PR do?
At the moment if we select empty objects and array of object properties with dot notations like:
```json
{
  "array": [],
  "object": {}
}
```
```rs
GetDocumentOptions { fields: Some(vec!["array.name", "object.name"]) }
```
returns null if the array/object has no property yet.

I am not sure if this is expected or it's the correct behaviour but I add my document with a property that is assigned to an empty array/object, later on when I select it, returns null which is kinda weird and unexpected in my opinion.

This PR fixes that issue by returning an empty vector if the array is empty or an empty map if object is empty. This is not added for `permissive-json-pointer/src/lib.rs:224` because `create_array` loops over each item. Selecting a single property that is an object, in an array of objects would result other objects to be empty maps instead of none. 
```json
"doggos": [
  {
    "jean": {
      "race": {
        "name": "bernese mountain",
      }
    }
  },
  {
    "marc": {
       "age": 4,
       "race": {
          "name": "golden retriever",
        }
     }
   }
]
```
```rs
GetDocumentOptions { fields: Some(vec!["doggos.jean"]) }
```
Would result in `jean` object and an extra empty object for `marc`.
