Fix translate_sid's empty target field handling #18991

What does this PR do?

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 they are empty strings. So it ends up adding target fields that are empty strings to the event (e.g. "": "Group").

Why is it important?

Without this fix, if some target fields were not set then the beat would produce invalid events that cannot be indexed.
