Optimize empty case in Vec::retain

While profiling some code that happens to call Vec::retain() in a tight loop, I noticed more runtime than expected in retain, even in a bench case where the vector was always empty.  When I wrapped my call to retain in `if !myvec.is_empty()` I saw faster execution compared with doing retain on an empty vector.

On closer inspection, Vec::retain is doing set_len(0) on itself even when the vector is empty, and then resetting the length again in BackshiftOnDrop::drop.

Unscientific screengrab of a flamegraph illustrating how we end up spending time in set_len and drop:
