Work around compressing empty stream on PHP 7+

README.md

@@ -232,7 +232,6 @@ As such, we've spotted several inconsistencies (or *bugs*) between different PHP
 These inconsistencies exist in the underlying PHP engines and there's little we can do about this in this library.
 
 * All Zend PHP versions: Decompressing invalid data does not emit any data (and does not raise an error)
-* PHP 7 only: Compressing an empty string does not emit any data (not a valid compression stream)
 * HHVM only: does not currently support the GZIP and ZLIB format at all (and does not raise an error)
 * HHVM only: The [`zlib.deflate` filter function](https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/fee8ae39ce395c7b9b8910dfde6f22a7745aea83/hphp/system/php/stream/default-filters.php#L77) buffers the whole string. This means that compressing a stream of 100 MB actually stores the whole string in memory before invoking the underlying compression algorithm.
 * PHP 5.3 only: Tends to SEGFAULT occasionally on shutdown?
