genem: improve the worst case

* spot/twaalgos/genem.cc, spot/twaalgos/genem.hh: Improve the worst
case by not recurring twice into each disjunct individually.  Keep
the previous two implementation available and add a function
generic_emptiness_check_select_version() so we can benchmark the
difference.
* tests/python/genem.py: Test the three versions.
