 When calling wp.editPost from XMLRPC, if you pass an empty array for a set
 of terms it will not remove all the terms in that taxonomy for a post.  If
 the array has even one term id in it, it will set it properly, but empty
 arrays get ignored and thus don't change the current terms.

 I found and fixed the issue and have attached a patch.  I'm adding one
 line in _insert_post (in wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php) to
 initialize the $terms array for a particular taxonomy, thus when the
 following foreach is called (and skips because of the empty array) then an
 empty array will be passed along and cause the terms deletion to happen.
