fix(add): empty string is real data, not a missing field

validateAddParams() treated '' as falsy and rejected it with "Missing
required field 'data'" — so a legitimate empty file's first write always
failed. Only null/undefined data (with no vector either) is genuinely
absent; '' is real content. Fixed the check, plus the identical bug in
validateUpdateParams() (truncating a file to empty via overwrite hit the
same falsy check) and in update()/transact()'s update planner, where a
plain `Boolean(params.data)`/truthy check on the resolved vector would have
silently skipped both the deferred-embed marker and the eager re-embed for
an emptied value — a stale vector with no path to ever correct itself.

Verified end-to-end: vfs.writeFile('/empty.txt', '') now succeeds,
readFile() returns '', the file lists, and stat() reports size 0; the
existing "should reject empty string as data" tests (unit + integration)
asserted the old buggy behavior and are updated to assert the fixed
contract instead.
