[Bug] Opening a blank file will change it

Operating System

Windows

What's the issue you encountered?

Opening a blank file with ImHex will change it by simply opening it and closing it without doing anything to file.

How can the issue be reproduced?

I've attached a test file that is blank, use it to reproduce the issue.

1. Add the file to your git source tree to be able to see the effect of a change
2. Add the test file to index with git ex. git add blank.asm
3. Run ImHex, select File -> Open and open the file and then close it with ImHex with File -> Close
4. Run git status and you'll see the file is reported as modified even though you did nothing to file.

Additional context?

I see there is a 0x00 byte in test file, a NUL ASCII character, but how did that byte come there I don't know.
