I built gdb with -fsanitize=undefined, and there was a complaint coming
from cplus-dem.c.  remember_Btype can call memcpy with a NULL pointer,
which is undefined behavior according to the C standard.

This patch fixes the problem for me.  I tested this by rebuilding gdb
(with -fsanitize=undefined) and re-running the test suite.

Ok?

	* cplus-dem.c (remember_Btype): Don't call memcpy with LEN==0.
