Pyro does not allow "empty" transforms to be added

[wixbot]

One of our teams wanted to basically throw any wixmst at pyro and have it ignore transforms that do not include changes. This was easier for their build process than dealing with errors. This was done as an opt-in experience passing the -aet option to pyro.

Per wixtoolset/wix#49, implement this by default and yield a warning if the transform contains no changes (and don't embed it). The warning can then be promoted to an error if builders care.
