jquery.textSelection: Don't throw errors on empty collections

All jQuery functions just do nothing or return "empty" values when
called on an empty collection (e.g. `$()`), the ones defined in this
module should behave in the same way.

This came to light when a change in WikiEditor combined with lousy
coding caused this code path to be called, breaking various gadgets
and extensions like SemanticForms.
