Fixed

fix(y): y.SafeCopy shall always return empty slice rather than nil (#2245)

WARNING SafeCopy now returns an empty slice rather than nil. For those using our y utility package, this could be a breaking change. This has implications for empty slices stored in badger, specifically, upon retrieval the value stored with the key will be equal to what was set (an empty []byte). See #2067 for more details.
