The change addresses issue #52. The parse_vcf_filepath function additionally checks if the file is empty. This function was already validating that the file exists so now it also validates that the file is not empty. If the file is empty than a message is logged and a ValueError is raises since the program assumes that the file should have content. This change just gives one more safe guard to the user to make sure everything is being behaving properly.
*Additionally ran the code through the black formatter to get consistent spacing and pythonic style
This has been tested on a Linux Ubuntu 24 LTS server with python 3.11
