summary:

gh-71810: Fix corner case (length==0) for int.to_bytes() (#138739)

```pycon
>>> (0).to_bytes(0, 'big', signed=True)
b''
>>> (-1).to_bytes(0, 'big', signed=True)  # was b''
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
    (-1).to_bytes(0, 'big', signed=True)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OverflowError: int too big to convert
```
