inhibitIf

[benjaie]

Description

Add explicit inhibitIf and inhibitIfEmpty flow-control helpers to Grafast.

inhibitIf is implemented as a regular step for condition-based inhibition that
cannot be absorbed into dependency flags like inhibitOnNull. inhibitIfEmpty
adds a common helper for inhibiting null, undefined, "", empty arrays, and
objects with no keys.

Also adds tests and documentation updates for the new flow-control APIs.

Performance impact

Low. inhibitIf is an explicit step, so it is less optimizable than
inhibitOnNull, but only affects plans that opt into this behaviour.

Security impact

None.
