fix(3p/nix): Use SkipEmpty in all calls to absl::StrSplit r/1613

The behavior to return a list containing a single empty string when
provided an empty string is a behavior that absl inherited from legacy
code. However, the behavior expected by legacy code in Nix is the
behavior provided by the SkipEmpty option. Switch all calls to use
SkipEmpty, except for the call already using SkipWhitespace.

See also commit 26a59482d2427f640893517f1b24dd650a5bd5da, with the
partly-prophetic message: "there may be other places we need to
fix this as well."
