Fix translate_sid's empty target field handling (elastic#18991)

The translate_sid processor only requires one of the three target fields to be configured. It should work properly when some of the targets are not set, but it doesn't check if the are empty strings. So it ends up adding target fields that are empty strings to the event (e.g. "": "Group").

Closes elastic#18990
