main : allow empty --prompt-cache file (ggerganov#5176)

* allow empty --prompt-cache file

This allows the use of std::tmpnam(), std::tmpfile(), Python's tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(), and similar create-empty-file API's for the user.

I switched from the C fopen API to the C++ filesystem api to get around the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, C has no portable way to get the file size above LONG_MAX, with std::ftell() returning long? fallback to std::ifstream for c++  < 17
(the project is currently targeting C++11 it seems - file_exists() and file_size() can be removed when we upgrade to c++17)

* formatting

(requested in codereview)

* remove c++17, file_is_empty
