When the from path is an emptry string "" a null value is improperly assigned

[brunerd]

When the from path is "" it will be improperly assigned a null value

Example:
patch: [{"op":"copy","from":"","path":"/archive"}]
JSON: {"wow":"cool"}

The error message:
TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'from.get')
(same for move, although that should result in a warning)

Line 448:
var from = operation.from ? new JSONPointer(operation.from) : null;

This seems to be the culprit: operation.from is evaluating as "falsey" when it's an empty string so null is being returned by the ternary expression

One fix is:
var from = operation.from !== undefined ? new JSONPointer(operation.from) : null;

With that in place the operation completes as expected:

{
  "wow": "cool",
  "archive": {
    "wow": "cool"
  }
}

Or in the case of a move:
patch: [{"op":"move","from":"","path":"/archive"}]
JSON: {"wow":"cool"}

The proper result now displays:
Error: destination must not be a child of source

@almost You sick of jsonpatch bugs yet? Glad you could get #42, there's this oldie too. I swear this is the last one from me! 😅
