arena_allocator/reset: avoid zero-capacity allocations

1. When the arena is already empty, resetting with `retain_capacity` no longer results in allocating a buffer with zero capacity. This behavior was previously intended by the `(current_capacity == 0)` check, but wasn't correctly implemented. 2. Resetting with `.{ .retain_with_limit = 0 }` is now equivalent to `free_all` and a new buffer with zero capacity is no longer created. This is a useful side-effect of the above fixes.
