When a user deletes all text within a link in the visual markdown editor, the empty link markup was being left behind (visible when switching to raw markdown mode). This adds a Slate normalizer that automatically removes link nodes when they become empty (have no text content), ensuring the link markup is properly cleaned up along with the text. Fixes decaporg#7640
