[Backport] Prevent running SQL query on every item in the database when the quote is empty

Original Pull Request

#16675

Description

During custom development on Magento, we needed the ability to have a quote be created and loaded into the session with no items. We started noticing performance issues throughout ajax banner loads and checkout cart loads after this change. After further inspection, we noticed that a call to \Magento\Quote\Model\ResourceModel\Quote\Item\Collection::removeItemsWithAbsentProducts resulted in a query on the catalog_product_entity table that performed a table scan across all 1.3 million products in the database, simply because no filter was being applied. The requested change simply is a check if there are any product ids to filter before attempting to filter. While this may not affect any stand-alone magento installations, it has no negative effect and if any other developer seeks to implement the capability of loading empty quotes into the session, this will alleviate potential performance issues.
