json_normalize should be able to accept an empty list
#### Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

```python-traceback
In[21]: pandas.io.json.json_normalize([])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IndexError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-21-1bd834af8a9b> in <module>()
----> 1 pandas.io.json.json_normalize([])

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pandas/io/json.py in json_normalize(data, record_path, meta, meta_prefix, record_prefix)
    791 
    792     if record_path is None:
--> 793         if any([isinstance(x, dict) for x in compat.itervalues(data[0])]):
    794             # naive normalization, this is idempotent for flat records
    795             # and potentially will inflate the data considerably for

IndexError: list index out of range
```

#### Problem description

This should probably return an empty dataframe when the list is empty, based on `len(data)` being 0.

#### Expected Output

```python
>>> pandas.io.json.json_normalize([])

Empty DataFrame
Columns: []
Index: []
```

Admittedly, this could be a series too -- I was using this across several collections and noticed I had to code around when some entries were empty.
