empty-block: Fix false positive on select {} (#805)
This fixes a false positive reported by revive on the following: select {} This is a way to block the program indefinitely. It is used in cases like: - Running a long-running server in a background thread and blocking `main` from exiting until the application dies. This is something you might do if your process has multiple servers/listeners in the same process. ```go go grpcListenAndServe() go httpListenAndServe() go logFlusher() select {} ``` - In programs compiled to WASM to prevent the application from exiting, so that the Javascript components may interact with it. ```go func main() { js.Global().Set("foo", foo) select {} } ``` Without this, one may see an error like, "Error: Go program has already exited" As a workaround, these programs can block forever by receiving from a throwaway channel (`<-make(chan struct{})`), but `select {}` is still a completely valid way of doing this, so supporting it makes sense. The issue was previously reported in #698 but was closed because the author was satisfied with a `//nolint` comment. Now that this rule is part of the default rule set (#799) the case for addressing the false positive is stronger. Resolves #804
