Merge branch 'jh/empty-notes'

A request to store an empty note via "git notes" meant to remove
note from the object but with --allow-empty we will store a (surprise!)
note that is empty.  In the longer run, we might want to deprecate
the somewhat unintuitive "emptying means deletion" behaviour.

* jh/empty-notes:
  t3301: modernize style
  notes: empty notes should be shown by 'git log'
  builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notes
  builtin/notes: split create_note() to clarify add vs. remove logic
  builtin/notes: simplify early exit code in add()
  builtin/notes: refactor note file path into struct note_data
  builtin/notes: improve naming
  t3301: verify that 'git notes' removes empty notes by default
  builtin/notes: fix premature failure when trying to add the empty blob
