Bug Description

If there is an empty array or an array of empty arrays, the writing function will fail with an index error in:

sdds/sdds/writer.py

Line 81 in f74e04d

return [len(value)] + get_dimensions_from_array(value[0])

Steps to Reproduce

No response

Relevant output

No response

Possible Fix Implementation

Possible solution could be

return [len(value)] + get_dimensions_from_array(value[0]) if len(value) else []

but needs to be tested if this would read okay. Or if empty arrays should be allowed in the first place?
