Handle empty-string edge cases correctly in strpos().

Commit 9556aa0 rearranged the innards of text_position() in a way
that would make it not work for empty search strings.  Which is fine,
because all callers of that code special-case an empty pattern in
some way.  However, the primary use-case (text_position itself) got
special-cased incorrectly: historically it's returned 1 not 0 for
an empty search string.  Restore the historical behavior.

Per complaint from Austin Drenski (via Shay Rojansky).
Back-patch to v12 where it got broken.
