Use Empty Array for Collection.toArray()

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.staticanalysis.ReplaceCollectionToArrayArgWithEmptyArray
Artifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis

Changes new array creation with Collection#toArray(T[]) to use an empty array argument, which is better for performance. According to the Collection#toArray(T[]) documentation: > If the collection fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. However, although it's not intuitive, allocating a right-sized array ahead of time to pass to the API appears to be generally worse for performance according to benchmarking and JVM developers due to a number of implementation details in both Java and the virtual machine. H2 achieved significant performance gains by switching to empty arrays instead pre-sized ones.
