submodule: avoid passing NULL pointers to strncmp

In C89 it is undefined behavior to pass `NULL` pointers to
`strncmp` and later on in C99 it has been explicitly stated that
functions with an argument declared as `size_t nmemb` specifying
the array length shall always have valid parameters, no matter if
`nmemb` is 0 or not (see ISO 9899 §7.21.1.2).

The function `str_equal_no_trailing_slash` always passes its
parameters to `strncmp` if their lengths match. This means if one
parameter is `NULL` and the other one either `NULL` or a string
with length 0 we will pass the pointers to `strncmp` and cause
undefined behavior.

Fix this by explicitly handling the case when both lengths are 0.
