Fix PHP 8.1 "strlen(null)" exception which blocks rendering Conduit's dashboard.panel.edit page
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 T15425

Test Plan

Applied this change; afterwards /conduit/method/dashboard.panel.edit/ correctly renders in browser.

I visited every single Conduit API .edit page and I was able to see that every page has a documentation type = NULL, but /conduit/method/owners.edit/ has a nice raw Remarkup string for example. Really no other thing.

So, phutil_nonempty_string() will report alien types, and that is good here.

sgtm

Hoping to be useful I will add a small inline documentation to help future people
