Description

Fix PHP 8.1 "strlen(null)" exception which blocks rendering commit page in Diffusion

Summary:
strlen() was used in Phabricator to check if a generic value is a non-empty string.
This behavior is deprecated since PHP 8.1. Phorge adopts phutil_nonempty_string() as a replacement.

Note: this may highlight other absurd input values that might be worth correcting
instead of just ignoring. If phutil_nonempty_string() throws an exception in your
instance, report it to Phorge to evaluate and fix that specific corner case.

EXCEPTION: (RuntimeException) strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated at [<arcanist>/src/error/PhutilErrorHandler.php:261]
arcanist(head=master, ref.master=97e163187418), phorge(head=diffusionCallsignHistory, ref.master=9b99123ff931, ref.diffusionCallsignHistory=d5fb6702a49a)
  #0 <#2> PhutilErrorHandler::handleError(integer, string, string, integer) called at [<phorge>/src/applications/diffusion/controller/DiffusionCommitController.php:31]

Closes T15466

Test Plan: After applying this change, going to an existing commit URL like /diffusion/XYZ/commit/999a2c7d1ff8 shows the exception covered by T15464 instead, as expected.
