Fix PHP 8.1 "strlen(null)" exception for empty default branch in PhabricatorRepository
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.
```
ERROR 8192: strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated at [/var/www/html/phorge/phorge/src/applications/repository/storage/PhabricatorRepository.php:2785]
```
