Forms: if placeholder is set to 0 then it doesn't render as expected

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

If you add the placeholder as 0 to a text field it doesn't render as expected. Since when we are checking and applying classes we assume that the value is "empty".

Steps to reproduce

On a page add the form block. Add the placeholder of "0".

Notice that the form has the animated style. The placeholder is displayed under the label.

OpenAI suggested the following labels for this issue:

• [Feature Group] Content Management: The issue relates to how content is structured and managed within forms on the site.
• [Feature] Contact Form: The issue concerns the rendering of placeholder values in text fields, which are commonly used in contact forms.
• [Feature] Forms Blocks: Since the issue specifically involves the behavior of a form block when a placeholder value of '0' is set, this label is directly relevant.

This issue could use some more labels, to help prioritize and categorize our work. Could you please add at least a [Type], a [Feature], and a [Pri] label?

Hey @enejb Can I assume this can be assigned to the Jetpack team, and that you've already triaged it ?
