#27146: All feeds return 404 error if no posts available

 Under the current version of WordPress core (3.8.1) all feeds of a blog
 return 404 status code if there is no post published on this blog
 (depending on the client, the content of the feed might still be shown).

 While somewhat okay for the standard feeds, this includes custom feeds
 which might display any other content which is not related to the posts.
 Thus, I believe this behavior is unwanted and hinders some plugin
 development.
