Description
### Is this a duplicate?
- [x] I confirmed there appear to be no [duplicate issues](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/issues) for this bug and that I agree to the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
### Type of Bug
Silent Failure
### Component
libcu++
### Describe the bug
nvrtcc needs to check that the input file is a non-empty string before compiling.
### How to Reproduce
Bad case:
```
(cccl) coder ➜ ~/cccl/testing $ ../build/cuda12.8-gcc13/libcudacxx-nvrtc-cpp17/libcudacxx/test/utils/nvidia/nvrtc/nvrtcc --std=c++20 -gencode=arch=c
ompute_80,code=compute_80 -c ./test.cu
NVRTCC Configuration:
Output dir:
Output file:
Input file:
Building: true
Skipping output: false
Executing: false
NVRTC opt list:
-DCCCL_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS
--gpu-architecture=compute_80
Compiling program...
Collecting logs...
```
test.cu can then contain anything and will never fail to compile. An empty wrapping compute_80 file will be emitted.
### Expected behavior
Good case:
```
../build/cuda12.8-gcc13/libcudacxx-nvrtc-cpp17/libcudacxx/test/utils/nvidia/nvrtc/nvrtcc --std=c++20 -gencode=arch=compute_80,code=compute_80 -c "/home/coder/cccl/testing/test.cu"
NVRTCC Configuration:
Output dir:
Output file:
Input file: /home/coder/cccl/testing/test.cu
Building: true
Skipping output: false
Executing: false
NVRTC opt list:
-I /home/coder/cccl/testing
-DCCCL_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS
--gpu-architecture=compute_80
```
