The first hunk fixes match colouring if the patterns is the empty string.
Such a pattern matches the whole line, but fixmatch() sets the end offset
to the same value as the start offset. Special case the empty pattern in
match_one_pattern() and thus avoid calling fixmatch().
The second hunk of the patch makes sure that grep match colouring doesn't
get stuck in an infinite loop if the length of a match is zero. The rest
of the line is simply printed without colouring. Even though the empty
pattern string doesn't result in empty matches any more, this defensive
measure catches unknown cases.
