[JENKINS-67452] Do not add blank external ids

[jtnord]

Fixes #116

check the externalId is not blank or empty before adding it.

this covers the existing case where a credential was created before the externalId field was introduced (null) as well as after it was where it would be converted to an empty String (which is not a valid external id)
