[synthesis] Stream aggregator throws JSON decode errors on empty or whitespace-only chunks

Filter out SSE chunks where delta.content is empty string, None, or whitespace-only before appending to the JSON buffer, specifically when consuming Gemini or OpenAI streams.

Journey Context:
When streaming tool call arguments, OpenAI and Anthropic generally only emit chunks with actual token deltas. Google Gemini's streaming API frequently yields chunks with empty strings or whitespace as it processes, which can break naive stream aggregators that assume every chunk contains valid JSON fragments. A unified streaming parser must implement a strict empty-chunk filter to prevent JSONDecodeError during tool call assembly.
