perf(jqLite): implement and use the `empty` method in place of `html(‘’)`

jQuery's elem.html('') is way slower than elem.empty(). As clearing
element contents happens quite often in certain scenarios, switching
to using .empty() provides a significant performance boost when using
Angular with jQuery.

Closes #4457
