[RFC/PATCH 1/4] test-lib: add test_dir_is_empty()

For the upcoming submodule test framework we often need to assert that an empty directory exists in the work tree. Add the test_dir_is_empty() function which asserts that the given argument is an empty directory.

I believe this one is pretty straightforward (unless I missed that this functionality already exists someplace I forgot to look ;-).
