Fallback does not fallbacks if locale option is an empty string

See original GitHub issue

vue & vue-i18n version

vue: 3.0.5
vue-i18n: 9.0.0-rc.4

Steps to reproduce

Setup i18n in this way:

const i18n = {
    locale: '',
    fallbackLocale: 'en',
    messages: {/* my translations */},
};

createI18n(i18n);

createApp({
...
})
.use(i18n)
.mount('#app');

Fallback to ‘en’ locale.

@PeterAlfredLee

@kazupon I’m wonder why we check '' in this code, should we remove it ?

This is bug from v8.x. https://github.com/kazupon/vue-i18n/blob/f78c1fc1f3137935e57735df20aef83f16dd68cf/src/index.js#L569

That should be fallback.
