New REPL crashes on an empty DELETE_WORD_BACKWARDS (^W) followed by CLEAR_TO_START (^K)

Bug report

Bug description:

If, in the REPL, you:

1. Delete the current word, backward, on an empty line using Control-W, then
2. Delete to the end of line, using Control-K

The REPL will crash with an exception in readline.

Note: ^ denotes pressing the Control or Command key when pressing the next character.

This exception is caused since kill_range is not called on an empty backward_kill_word, causing kill_ring to be empty: https://github.com/pypy/pyrepl/blob/ca192a80b76700118b9bfd261a3d098b92ccfc31/pyrepl/commands.py#L152-L156

Start in pyrepl/commands.py around lines 152-156, where backward word deletion and kill_range are described. Reproduce the empty-line ^W followed by ^K sequence in the REPL and trace the kill-ring state. Done means the sequence no longer raises the reported readline exception; linked PR gh-131452 indicates work is already underway.
