rP10ee019785d5: Fix PHP 8.1 "strlen(null)" exception setting Passphrase Credential

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=788098096e11), phorge(head=master, ref.master=840a7fab2bc8)
  #0 <#2> PhutilErrorHandler::handleError(integer, string, string, integer) called at [<phorge>/src/applications/passphrase/view/PassphraseCredentialControl.php:53]

Closes T15580

53	I wonder why in the original version they have not used just: if (!$current_phid && ...) { As far as I know, this would be the most reliable, readable and minimal check, without any PHP8.1 pitfall. @avivey do you somehow agree?
