Before this commit, the selection prompt would throw an `InvalidOperationException` (Sequence contains no elements) and the multi selection prompt would throw an `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` (Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.) Both would occur because the prompts were never meant to be empty.

Maybe we should change the
SelectionPromptandMultiSelectionPromptconstructors to always require at least one item so that this situation could never occur? But that would be a breaking change and should be discussed in a separate issue. This one is not breaking and just provides a more understandable error message.Please upvote 👍 this pull request if you are interested in it.
