[PATCH] rbtree: rust: add RBTree::is_empty

From: Alice Ryhl

In Rust Binder I need to be able to determine whether a red/black tree
is empty. Thus, add a method for that operation to replace

rbtree.iter().next().is_none()

This is terrible, so add a method for this purpose. We do not add a
RBTree::len method because computing the number of elements requires
iterating the entire tree, but checking whether it is empty can be done
cheaply.
