strlen() was used in Phabricator to check if a generic value is a non-empty string.
Receiving null 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 T15389

Applied these three changes; afterwards writing {F1234} in the Task Comment text field finally rendered the image preview in the preview area, plus I could successfully add the Comment.

Additional cute tests:

Test alt:

{F1234,alt=0}
{F1234,alt=null}
{F1234,alt=123}
{F1234,alt=0.1}
{F1234,alt=[]}

Test width:

{F1234,width=0}
{F1234,width=10}
{F1234,width=10.1}
{F1234,width=10%}
{F1234,width=49.99%}
{F1234,width=100%}

Test height:

{F1234,height=0}
{F1234,height=10}
{F1234,height=10.1}
{F1234,height=10%}
{F1234,height=49.99%}
{F1234,height=100%}

Test mix width/height:

{F1234,height=0,width=0}
{F1234,height=10,width=15}
{F1234,height=10.1,width=15}
{F1234,height=10%,width=15%}
{F1234,height=49.99%,width=15%}
{F1234,height=100%,width=15%}

If you have no nuclear implosion and if dimensions are somehow respected and the alt text works, well done! Test passed.
