deserializeJSON with an empty string should throw an exception

Description

On Coldfusion the deserializeJSON-function throws an error when passing an empty string.
The Lucee returns an empty string, which is not a valid json-string in my opinion.

Test:

<cfset test = {} /> <cfset test = deserializeJSON("") /> <cfdump var="#test#" />

I've checked this ticket with the fixed version and now deserializeJSON() with empty string throws the error. So I marked this ticket as deployed.

Yeah I checked that, works fine

deserializeJSON('""'): works deserializeJSON(""):invalid call of the function DeserializeJSON, first Argument (JSONVar) is invalid, input value cannot be empty string.
