Bugfix: Make snapshots --json output [] instead of null when no snapshots
Restic previously output `null` instead of `[]` for the `--json snapshots`
command, when there were no snapshots in the repository. This caused some
minor problems when parsing the output, but is now fixed such that `[]` is
output when the list of snapshots is empty.
