What happened?

The html repr of a cftime array wants to display the "calendar", which it cannot if it is empty.

What did you expect to happen?

No error.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

```Python import numpy as np import xarray as xr

data_obs = np.random.randn(3) time_obs = xr.date_range("2000-01-01", periods=3, freq="YS", calendar="noleap")

obs = xr.DataArray(data_obs, coords={"time": time_obs})

o = obs[:0]

xr.core.formatting_html.array_repr(o) ```

MVCE confirmation

• [ ] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
• [ ] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
• [ ] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
• [ ] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
