Issue:
Unmarshal decodes empty string ("") into nil for *[]byte, should be []byte{}
**Describe the bug**

When unmarshaling a JSON string value ("") into a *[]byte field, sonic.Unmarshal produces nil instead of an empty byte slice ([]byte{}).

**To Reproduce**

```golang
func TestSonic(t *testing.T) {
	var dest struct {
		ByteArr *[]byte
	}

	err := sonic.Unmarshal([]byte(`{"ByteArr": ""}`), &dest)
	require.NoError(t, err)

	require.Equal(t, *dest.ByteArr, []byte("")) //*dest.ByteArr is []byte(nil), but it should be []byte{}
}
```

**Expected behavior**

"" should be unmarshaled into []byte{} (a non-nil, zero-length slice), not nil. This is how encoding/json behaves.

**Sonic version:**

v1.13.1
