Pull request description:

  The current `rpcauth` parsing behavior is inconsistent and unintuitive (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29141#issuecomment-1972085251 and additional details below).
  The current behavior inconsistently treats empty `rpcauth` as an error (or not) depending on the location within CLI/bitcoin.conf and the location of adjacent valid `rpcauth` params.

  Empty `rpcauth` is now consistently treated as an error and prevents bitcoind from starting.
  Continuation of the upforgrabs PR #29141.

  ### Additional details:
  Current `rpcauth` behavior is nonsensical:

   - If an empty `rpcauth` argument was specified as the last command line argument, it would cause all other `rpcauth` arguments to be ignored.
   - If an empty `rpcauth` argument was specified on the command line followed by any nonempty `rpcauth` argument, it would cause an error.
   - If an empty `rpcauth=` line was specified after non-empty rpcauth line in the config file it would cause an error.
   - If an empty `rpcauth=` line in a config file was first it would cause other rpcauth entries in the config file to be ignored, unless there were `-rpcauth` command line arguments and the last one was nonempty, in which case it would cause an error.

  New behavior is simple:
   - If an empty rpcauth config line or command line argument is used it will cause an error
