Fix crash on certain versions of Tizen and Samsung Internet

[tacheometry]

Issue description

A friend was having issues with Jellyfin on his Samsung Smart TV. Running the program, the following stack trace displayed:

It reads out: TypeError: Failed to construct 'Headers': No matching constructor signature.

Tracking this down, it is due to some react-router code. Turns out, this is due to a bug in Samsung's JavaScript implementation. new Headers(undefined) should be a valid constructor, but running this on Samsung, this errors. I suggested updating the browser, but this was not possible, as the version was locked.

Fix

Thus, like in other projects I've seen, I've implemented the fix of running the constructor with an empty object (new Headers({})) instead of undefined or null (new Headers(undefined)).

This is inspired from the following work:

• new Headers(undefined) doesn't work with Samsung Internet 6.4 GoogleChrome/workbox#1461 with the fix of Use an empty object rather than undefined when calling new Headers() GoogleChrome/workbox#1463
• Failed to construct 'Headers': No matching constructor signature. connectrpc/connect-es#231 with the fix of added empty object if headers are undefined connectrpc/connect-es#232
• Should new Headers(undefined) throw? whatwg/fetch#185
• fix: pass empty object to headers initializer to prevent crash on chrome 49 unjs/ofetch#235

These changes increase compatibility, making it possible to run react-router on older browser implementations, and introduce no breaking changes.

After building using this fork of React Router, the program was no longer crashing on my friend's Tizen system.
