fix assumption that deep copied 0-field mutable structs compare equal

[KristofferC]

When running the tests for this package on the upcoming 1.3 release I got the error:

solverstring = "Alpine.UnsetSolver()"
Partitioning variable selection tests :: nlp3: Error During Test at /root/.julia/packages/Alpine/yThaY/test/solver.jl:18
  Got exception outside of a @test
  Unsupported MINLP local solver Alpine.UnsetSolver(); use a Alpine-supported MINLP local solver

I tracked it down to the following issue https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/33359.

This PR works around the problem.

On more careful examination, this is the result of a bugfix in deepcopy with mutable structs being considered non-singleton (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/31825).

The lines at:

https://github.com/lanl-ansi/Alpine.jl/blob/4078aafa4b1debe947355b9c6e38faef8a5acd1c/src/solver.jl#L485-L487

makes the check for == with empty_solver be false. I believe this is a correct bugfix for the problem shown by the test failure.

Thanks @KristofferC for catching this.
