[BUG] Error deleting Table Entity with empty rowkey

[maheshnapte]

Bug Description:
We are using azure-data-tables-12.3.14 library but getting issue in deleteting table entity with empty rowkey. This was allowed operation in older 8.6.6 library.
As per the document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/Designing-a-Scalable-Partitioning-Strategy-for-Azure-Table-Storage, empty stiring is permited for rowkey and partitionkey.

Exception:
2023-09-11 11:46:47.212 ERROR [ main] com.azure.data.tables.TableClient [MsgID=] : 'partitionKey' and 'rowKey' cannot be null

To Reproduce

1. Add row in table storage with empty rowkey.
2. try to delete is using the method
   public Response<Void> deleteEntityWithResponse(TableEntity entity, boolean ifUnchanged, Duration timeout, Context context) avilable in the library.
3. The exception provided in the Exception section of this bug will be reproduced

Code Snippet
private Response deleteEntityWithResponse(String partitionKey, String rowKey, String eTag, boolean ifUnchanged,
Duration timeout, Context context) {
Context contextValue = TableUtils.setContext(context, true);
OptionalLong timeoutInMillis = TableUtils.setTimeout(timeout);

    String finalETag = ifUnchanged ? eTag : "*";

    if (isNullOrEmpty(partitionKey) || isNullOrEmpty(rowKey)) {
        throw logger.logExceptionAsError(new IllegalArgumentException("'partitionKey' and 'rowKey' cannot be null"));
    }

    Callable<Response<Void>> callable = () -> tablesImplementation.getTables().deleteEntityWithResponse(
        tableName, TableUtils.escapeSingleQuotes(partitionKey), TableUtils.escapeSingleQuotes(rowKey), finalETag, null,
        null, null, contextValue);

    try {
        return timeoutInMillis.isPresent()
            ? THREAD_POOL.submit(callable).get(timeoutInMillis.getAsLong(), TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
            : callable.call();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        Throwable except = mapThrowableToTableServiceException(ex);
        return swallow404Exception(except);
    }
}

Expected behavior
The exeption should not be thrown while deleting a row from the azure table storage with empty partitionKey and rowKey
row.
