push: do not turn --delete '' into a matching push
When we added a syntax sugar "git push remote --delete <ref>" to "git push" as a synonym to the canonical "git push remote :<ref>" syntax at f517f1f2 (builtin-push: add --delete as syntactic sugar for :foo, 2009-12-30), we weren't careful enough to make sure that <ref> is not empty. Blindly rewriting "--delete <ref>" to ":<ref>" means that an empty string <ref> results in refspec ":", which is the syntax to ask for "matching" push that does not delete anything. Worse yet, if there were matching refs that can be fast-forwarded, they would have been published prematurely, even if the user feels that they are not ready yet to be pushed out, which would be a real disaster.
