Fix a GDB assert failure on windows

A GDB internal error is found on native mingw32 target.

(gdb) run
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:1483: internal-error:
target_xfer_partial: Assertion `*xfered_len > 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

This error was introduced by the following snippet in commit

In the original code, len is returned, which could be 0, but after that
commit, only TARGET_XFER_OK is returned, which is wrong.  If len is 0,
TARGET_XFER_EOF should be returned.  (it is 0 in enum
target_xfer_status declaration).

	* windows-nat.c (windows_xfer_shared_libraries): Return
	TARGET_XFER_EOF if LEN is zero to fix an assert failure when
	requested object is TARGET_OBJECT_LIBRARIES.
