language_models: Filter out whitespace-only text content parts for OpenAI and OpenAI compatible providers (#40316)

Closes #40097

When multiple files are added sequentially to the agent panel, the
request JSON incorrectly includes "text" elements containing only
spaces. These empty elements cause the Zhipu AI API to return a "text
cannot be empty" error.
The fix filters out any "text" elements that are empty or contain only
whitespaces.

UI state when the error occurs:
<img width="300" alt="Image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c55e5272-3f03-42c0-b412-fa24be2b0043"
/>

Request JSON (causing the error):
```
{
  "model": "glm-4.6",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "system",
      "content": "<<CUT>>"
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "[@1.txt](zed:///agent/file?path=C%3A%5CTemp%5CTest%5C1.txt)"
        },
        { "type": "text", "text": " " },
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "[@2.txt](zed:///agent/file?path=C%3A%5CTemp%5CTest%5C2.txt)"
        },
        { "type": "text", "text": " describe" },
```
