Fix PHP 8.1 "strlen(null)" exception which blocks rendering Pholio mock preview
ClosedPublic

Details

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 T15353

Test Plan

Applied this change and /pholio/create/ displayed an image preview after uploading an image file.

I tested this patch locally with some fuzzy tests. Obviously without issues since this is an easy-peasy case.

Thanks again

✅ I verified the above line

The $title comes from Aphront#getStr() that always return a string or null.

The function phutil_nonempty_string() will report any other alien value, and that is OK.
