This PR stops the provider ignoring empty strings in provider blocks; if the value is in a user's config then it should be used by the code or removed by the user.
After muxing the provider we accidentally changed its behaviour to stop ignoring empty strings. That behaviour is what we'd expect the correct behaviour to be, so we are reverting to the old behaviour in a 4.x.x release (see GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules#8798) and then intentionally making the switch to the new behaviour as part of 5.0.0
ALSO I've decided against making similar changes in GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules#9015 because it would result in breaking changes for users when any datasources/resources are migrated to the plugin framework.
