Regression: RegistryTools no longer creates empty `Deps.toml` or `Compat.toml` files

[schlichtanders]

I just tried to register a super simple package of mine, apparently too simple.

It seams to fail because it has no dependencies and the RegistryCI cannot handle this. Here the stacktrace:

ERROR: LoadError: "/home/runner/work/General/General/N/NotMacro/Deps.toml": No such file

I would be very thankful if someone could manually merge the registration pullrequest which failed in the meantime.

This is actually a bug in RegistryTools.jl, introduced by #79. I'll put a fix together now.

So that you don't have to wait for the RegistryTools.jl fix to go through, I'll manually edit that branch to create the empty Depos.toml file (which would have been the correct behavior).
