core/types: add length check in CalcRequestsHash (ethereum#30829)

The existing implementation is correct when building and verifying
blocks, since we will only collect non-empty requests into the block
requests list.

But it isn't correct for cases where a requests list containing empty
items is sent by the consensus layer on the engine API. We want to
ensure that empty requests do not cause a difference in validation
there, so the commitment computation should explicitly skip them.
