(perl #132245) don't try to process a char range with no preceding char

tonycoz · tonycoz · commit e8d55f27af46 · 2017-10-30T10:37:32.000+11:00
A range like \N{}-0 eventually results in compilation failing, but
before that, get_and_check_backslash_N_name() attempts to treat
the memory before the empty output of \N{} as a character.
