Bug #18343: empty hash passed to Array#pack causes Segmentation fault (2.6)

* Author: Ethan (Ethan -)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal

* Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
passing an empty hash to `Array#pack` segfaults from ruby 2.4 to ruby 2.6 on ubuntu, macos, and windows.

```ruby
[0].pack('c', {})
```

pack takes a keyword argument, and handles unknown keywords, but the empty hash segfaults.

here is the error trace in a github workflow running only the above expression: https://github.com/notEthan/jsi/runs/4226433638 (other ruby versions and OSes are part of the same run)
