Sibling navigation doesn't work with group empty

[Cnly]

Description

When group empty is enabled, the prev / next sibling commands will not work properly. I'll give an example:

In the image, there's an empty-grouped item in the middle. When using "next sibling" at (1), nvim-tree will do nothing. When using "previous sibling" at (2), the cursor will skip the grouped item and go right to (1).

_G.setup = function()
  require("nvim-tree").setup {
    renderer = {

end

Steps to reproduce

1. Prepare a directory structure where empty-grouping will take effect
2. nvim -nu /tmp/nvt-min.lua
3. :NvimTreeToggle
4. See example in description

Thank you, reproduced.

Issues with grouped folders are sometimes tricky.
