Inconsistent behavior of `*` and empty string in `outputSelection`

[cameel]

Discovered in #15447.

Description

outputSelection in Standard JSON has two selectors that are handled specially: "*" and "".

The asterisk consistently works a wildcard selecting all sources/contracts. The empty string, on the other hand, is sometimes treated as a wildcard and sometimes as a literal empty string:

• When selecting outputs, it's a literal empty string. Will never match an output.
• When selecting contracts, it's a literal empty string. Will never match a contract.
• When selecting sources, it depends on what's at the contract level. Combined with "*" acts as a wildcard matching all sources, while with a specific name (or empty string) will only match a source with an empty name.

Another quirk is that, even though * is a valid source name, it cannot be matched literally. It can still be matched with a wildcard, but cannot be selected on its own. This should be documented because tools must be aware of this and handle it in some way (e.g. by disallowing * as a name). Perhaps we should consider disallowing * as well.

Environment
