redfish_info: Accounts ListUsers shows empty account slots

[mraineri]

Summary

Some Redfish services model empty account slots instead of using typical POST/DELETE semantics for adding/removing users. When invoking redfish.info Accounts ListUsers, it returns the empty account slots, which are not real user accounts. These empty accounts should be filtered from the response to not confuse users.

Steps to Reproduce

---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    username: <REDACTED>
    password: <REDACTED>
    baseuri: <REDACTED>
    default_uri_timeout: 5
    default_uri_retries: 5
  tasks:
  - name: Get users
    community.general.redfish_info:
      category: Accounts
      command: ListUsers
      baseuri: "{{ baseuri }}"
      username: "{{ username }}"
      password: "{{ password }}"
    retries: "{{ default_uri_retries }}"
    register: redfish_results
  - debug:
      var: redfish_results

This needs to target a Redfish service that expose empty account slots like iDRAC on Dell PowerEdge servers.
