fix: allow pypi packages with empty data attribute (#3463)

An empty glob under site-packages (after excluding code and pyi files)
is a bit strange,
but not actually incorrect. If such a situation occurs, it would cause a
failure because
Bazel has since changed to disallow empty globs by default.

To fix, just set allow_empty=True on the data glob.
