In vi/vim when you press c$ or d$ on an empty line, it does not delete
the line, but vimpulse.el does.
It makes it impossible to record keyboard macros that use c$ or d$
command, since you never know if line will be deleted or not (ie if
line has single space, it will not be deleted, otherwise it will).
Following patch fixes the problem, and makes it work like vim.
