Error with Empty String as Text Parameter of writeLog/<cflog>

Description

Either of those will throw an error of:

`you must define attribute text or attribute exception with the tag cflog`

I would expect a blank log line, instead; empty string should be valid, especially because the value can be dynamic, and if it is, it might be empty.

Also, it's not a big deal, but it's a bit weird that the error mentions "cflog", even for the writelog example. Maybe that's just a general quirk of the cfscript/tag implementation.

I have tested this ticket with Lucee version 6.2.0.304-SNAPSHOT. Now, the writelog with an empty string successfully logs. It works fine compared to ACF.

Seems ACF entries the empty log text to the log file

the log entries from ACF application.log

I strongly believe logging shouldn’t crash a request, let’s just write out a empty string
