Create empty wxCFStringRef and not null one if conversion fails

If the passed string cannot be represented in the target encoding in the
wxCFStringRef constructor, create a reference to an empty string instead of a
null ref. Most users of wxCFStringRef cannot handle a null wxCFStringRef.

Closes #17825.
