*nil no longer calls nil.to_a, similar to how **nil does not call nil.to_hash. [Feature #21047]
This could be optimized more but this matches semantics. The missing optimization is the parser(s) need to see literal
niland then set a new flag on build_splat marking that fact. Then the helper can use a cached empty frozen array. The bulk of the improvement is not dispatching so this will be a smaller percentage of improvement on a pretty uncommon case.
