Summary:  rm -f "" prints diagnostic message under the Hurd

Original Submission:  As stated by Single User Specification, version 3, 
option -f of rm should not print any diagnostic messages when file 
doesn't exist: 
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/rm.html



Under the Hurd, file name "" has special meaning, so instead of 
returning ENOENT, system interface function returns EINVAL, and so rm 
prints diagnostic message.
