[otbn,rtl] Fix `BAD_DATA_ADDR` unknown on pop from empty call stack

Prior to this commit, when a load or store used the call stack as
address and the call stack was empty, that may or may not result in a
`BAD_DATA_ADDR` error depending on the residual value in the empty call
stack.  However, a value popped from an empty stack is by definition
undefined and can thus not be decided as bad data address.  Furthermore,
this was problematic in most RTL simulators, where an empty call stack
that has never been pushed contains an unknown (X) value, so the
`BAD_DATA_ADDR` error bit became unknown.  This is described in more
detail in #13641.

These problems can be reproduced with the `bnlid-1.s` test program,
which is run as part of the `otbn_multi_err` test.

This commit fixes these problems by explicitly *not* setting the
`BAD_DATA_ADDR` error bit when a load or store uses the call stack as
address and the call stack is empty.  It therefore fixes #13641.
