[BUG] NPE/IndexOutOfBoundsException when request param is null or empty

[Aias00]

• severity: High
• files: shenyu-plugin/shenyu-plugin-proxy/shenyu-plugin-rpc/shenyu-plugin-grpc/src/main/java/org/apache/shenyu/plugin/grpc/client/ShenyuGrpcClient.java:75,81
• description: When parameterTypes is blank, param can be null and execution reaches client.call(). Inside call(), line 75 GsonUtils.getInstance().toObjectMap(requestJsons) with null returns null; JsonMessage.buildJsonMessageList(null) NPEs. Even if it returns an empty list, line 81 jsonRequestList.get(0) throws IndexOutOfBoundsException.
• impact: gRPC methods with no parameter types crash with an uncaught exception instead of being proxied.
• suggested_fix: Handle null/blank requestJsons by building a single default empty DynamicMessage.
• confidence: High
