rP6c692ddbbba8: Fix PHP 8.1 "strlen(null)" exceptions which block rendering page of a File

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.

Closes T15341

Test Plan

Applied these four changes and file page at /F91 finally rendered in web browser.

Thanks for this patch, again (!!!)

I tested this patch, locally, trying to do lot of fuzzy tests. With/withno alternative texts, changing encoding types, etc. I was not able to reproduce any nuclear crash.
