Description:
------------
When transliterate() is called with a 0-length string, the compact_underscores_convert filter segfaults on line 36 because out_idx is 0, so

tmp_out[out_idx - 1]

is out of bounds.


(This could be an issue with other filters, too.)



Reproduce code:
---------------
$s = transliterate('', array('compact_underscores'), 'utf-8','ascii');

Expected result:
----------------
$s is set to ''


Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault
