promql: Refine zero bucket treatment in histogramQuantile

Essentially, this mirrors the existing behavior for negative buckets:
If a histogram has only negative buckets, the upper bound of the zero
bucket is assumed to be zero.

Furthermore, it makes sure that the zero bucket boundaries are not
modified if a histogram that has no buckets at all but samples in the
zero bucket.

Also, add an TODO to vet if we really want this behavior.
