Research direction

Start by locating the Netty allocator and its handling of zero-byte ArrowBuf allocations. Add the requested regression test for allocating a zero-byte buffer and verify that the returned byte buffer behaves as empty. The issue does not name a source or test file, so repository search is needed first.
