build: frustrating cli error due to empty stub file #57

If you run an avo script and encounter an error of some kind, it will often leave an empty stub file lying around. The next time you run the script it'll die with an error like

$ go generate ./examples/args/...
can't load package: package github.com/mmcloughlin/avo/examples/args:
examples/args/stub.go:1:1: expected 'package', found 'EOF'

It won't work until you manually delete the stub.go file. It would be good to fix this frustration.

This was frustrating for @ericlagergren too:
