Subject: [PATCH] fix(medusa): plugin:db:generate skip modules with no data
 models (#13652)

Currently the plugin:db:generate command panics if one of the modules doesn't define any data models. This makes it impossible to generate migrations if you have a mix of modules with and without data models.
I added a simple check to skip these modules when creating the migrations.

Steps to repro:
```
npx create-medusa-app --plugin
cd my-medusa-plugin
# create a module with an empty service and no data models
npx medusa db:plugin:generate
```

Full error:
```
info:    Generating migrations...
info:    Generating migrations for module postmarkModuleService...

```

I didnt bother with writing an issue since I had the fix ready and it's very small, but lmk if I should in the future
