[issue20895] Add bytes.empty_buffer and deprecate bytes(17) for the same purpose

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

AFAIK, bytes(int) is a remnant from times when bytes was mutable. Then bytes was split to non-mutable bytes and mutable bytearray and this constructor was forgotten. I'm +0 for deprecation.
