Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update EmbedFieldBuilder

Updated Field builder, to allow for "Empty" fields and values.

If you send "_ _" via the discord rest API, it will display as a blank field.

Updated the Value setting to use String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace instead of String.IsNullOrEmpty, because passing a string full of spaces through the API will cause errors as well. However, "_ _" works perfectly.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Added method for "AddBlankField"

Added method to add a blank field. This functionality was quite handy for when I was utilizing discord.js. Allows the embeds to be cleaned up a bit.

I also stored the "Empty string" as a const... To make it easier to update in the future.
