tablefmt="html" outputs empty header row when no data rows
The HTML table format renderer outputs an empty table header row when there are no data rows. This differs unexpectedly from the default text format renderer which outputs the header row regardless.
>>> from tabulate import tabulate
>>> print(tabulate([], headers=["one", "two", "three"]))
one two three
----- ----- -------
>>> print(tabulate([["a", "b", "c"]], headers=["one", "two", "three"]))
one two three
----- ----- -------
a b c
>>> print(tabulate([], headers=["one", "two", "three"], tablefmt="html"))
<table>
<thead>
<tr></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
>>> print(tabulate([["a", "b", "c"]], headers=["one", "two", "three"], tablefmt="html"))
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>one </th><th>two </th><th>three </th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>a </td><td>b </td><td>c </td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Expected behavior: the table header row should be populated even when there are no data rows, same as the default renderer behaves.
