Description

We should think about what the proper solution for this would be.

0-byte FlowFiles can bear useful data, if some of their attributes are sent as headers.

We should either

 - always send 0-byte FlowFiles

 - only send 0-byte FlowFiles if we would send headers

 - don't send 0-byte FlowFiles (but then log something)

 - make the behaviour configurable
