getConfig returns null for empty config file

[mischnic]

🐛 bug report

I found it very unexpected that config.getConfig[From] returns null (usually meaning that no config file could be found) if a config file was found.

Especially because there are config formats where an empty file is valid (yaml, toml).

🤔 Expected Behavior

Just parse the file, an empty json config file would throw a parse error (which would be fine/correct).

😯 Current Behavior

Null is returned

💁 Possible Solution

Remove this line

parcel/packages/core/utils/src/config.js

Line 85 in b9426b8

if (!configContent) return null;
