According to the C/C++ standards, calling `memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0)` is
undefined behaviour. Recent GCC versions may rely on this by optimizing
NULL pointer checks more aggressively, see [1].

This patch tries to avoid calling std::memcpy with zero elements.
As a side effect, explicitly return NULL when requesting an empty block
from MemoryPoolAllocator::Malloc.

This may be related to #301.
