[PATCH 23/28] attr.c: introduce empty_attr_check_elems()

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

One codepath needs to just empty the git_attr_check_elem array in
the git_attr_check structure, without releasing the entire resource.
Introduce a helper to do so and rewrite git_attr_check_clear() using
it.
