WorkerFactory.newWorker() accepts blank/whitespace-only task queue names #3030

Description

@ad-kat

Bug found:

WorkerFactory.newWorker(taskQueue) validates against null and empty strings but not blank/whitespace-only strings:

Code snippet:
Preconditions.checkArgument(
!Strings.isNullOrEmpty(taskQueue), "taskQueue should not be an empty string");

This means factory.newWorker(" ") silently passes validation and creates a worker with a whitespace-only task queue name, which will fail at the server level with a cryptic error rather than a clear, early IllegalArgumentException.

Expected Behavior:
newWorker(" ") should throw IllegalArgumentException with a clear message.

Actual Behavior:
newWorker(" ") passes validation silently.

PS:
Other parts of this codebase already handle this correctly —
StartNexusOperationOptions.setId() uses trim().isEmpty() for the same reason.
