shred: avoid data write pass with --size=0
* src/shred.c (dopass): Exit early to avoid redundant heap allocation, and more importantly avoiding a file sync when we're writting no data, as this can have side effects. Also with --verbose, this avoids printing of "pass status" which could be confusing as to whether data was actually written. * tests/misc/shred-passes.sh: Ensure the status for data passes are not written when not doing any data writes.
