Support empty target request path in FlashMap

Prior to this commit, if the user configured an empty path for the
targetRequestPath property of a FlashMap, the FlashMapManager threw a
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when saving the output FlashMap for the
next request.

This commit fixes this by skipping the decoding and normalization of an
empty target request path.

Fixes gh-23240
