Handle bcc_self when filtering removes every generated task.

When the filter rejects all candidates, dss remains empty. If bcc_self is enabled, the later bcc_self block still requires task.000000/POSCAR and raises RuntimeError("need task.000000 structure as reference"). Creating an empty element.out does not prevent this failure. Guard that branch or generate its reference independently, and add a regression case with bcc_self=True.

In `@dpgen/auto_test/Interstitial.py` around lines 186 - 189, Update the bcc_self
handling in the interstitial generation flow to support an empty dss after
filtering: avoid requiring task.000000/POSCAR when no tasks were generated, or
create the reference independently. Preserve normal bcc_self behavior when
candidates remain, and add a regression case covering bcc_self=True with every
generated task rejected.
