[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox] s3 client: fix invalid request for empty delete_objects call

The s3 client's object_delete method does not correctly handle cases
where an empty list of object keys is passed via the parameters,
resulting in an `invalid request` error.

Handle this by early returning in case of an empty list, thereby also
skipping the unneeded api request altogether.

This indirectly fixes the snapshot directory cleanup for
proxmox-backup-client benchmark or aborted backups, where no objects
have been persisted to the object store within the snapshot prefix
yet, therefore trying to delete the empty list.

Note: as this indirectly fixes an issue in PBS, latter must be build
against a bumped version of the proxmox-s3-client.

Further, I'm working on improving the error logging for such invalid
requests, as they currently do not log the error in the response body
(if any) in these cases.
