Don't ever claim /dev/null is an execpath.

SpawnInputExpander.EMPTY_FILE claimed an execpath of /dev/null, which could lead to clients trying to do mutating filesystem operations in /dev.

In this change, SpawnInputExpander.EMPTY_FILE is replaced with an EmptyVirtualInput with no execpath. This way errant callers will explode before trying filesystem operations on it. Such a EmptyVirtualInput doesn't really meet the contract of being an ActionInput but that was really already true.

Closes bazelbuild#12516.

Roll forward of ceec93c,
which was rolled back in 0f626a4
