Crossref DOI deposit records can be created (and "successfully" submitted) with no DOIs in them

While compiling Crossref DOI deposit output, if a work has no DOI, we only raise an error if it's a chapter, not the parent work.

This is because it's permissible to send DOI deposit files without a parent work DOI, e.g. if the only purpose of the submission is to register the chapter DOIs. But if a work has no DOI and also no chapters, we don't flag this, but instead create a DOI deposit file that doesn't contain any DOIs (hence does nothing).
Crossref will happily accept this file, and send a confirmation email which doesn't indicate any failures, just has an empty record_count
(as below).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doi_batch_diagnostic status="completed" sp="ds5">
<submission_id>[...]</submission_id>
<batch_id>[...]</batch_id>
<batch_data>
<record_count>0</record_count>
<success_count>0</success_count>
<warning_count>0</warning_count>
<failure_count>0</failure_count>
</batch_data>
</doi_batch_diagnostic>
Relevant to #551.
