RecursionError with DataFrame.replace() where to_replace is an empty list
#### Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([1,2,3,4,5])
df.replace([], 99, inplace=False)
```
#### Problem description
The current output is a recursion error. It is throwing an exception which then goes into an infinite exception loop (``During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred``), which finally breaks due to maximum recursion depth reached: 


#### Expected Output
The expected output of the code is to replace nothing with 99. I am running into this issue when running through a list of lists and so it is unknown whether a specific list will be empty or not.

#### Output of ``pd.show_versions()``
