Dan O'Donovan f49da71e87 community[patch]: change default Neo4j username/password (#25226)
**Description:**

Change the default Neo4j username/password (when not supplied as
environment variable or in code) from `None` to `""`.

Neo4j has an option to [disable
auth](https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/configuration/configuration-settings/#config_dbms.security.auth_enabled)
which is helpful when developing. When auth is disabled, the username /
password through the `neo4j` module should be `""` (ie an empty string).

Empty strings get marked as false in
`langchain_core.utils.env.get_from_dict_or_env` -- changing this code /
behaviour would have a wide impact and is undesirable.

In order to both _allow_ access to Neo4j with auth disabled and _not_
impact `langchain_core` this patch is presented. The downside would be
that if a user forgets to set NEO4J_USERNAME or NEO4J_PASSWORD they
would see an invalid credentials error rather than missing credentials
error. This could be mitigated but would result in a less elegant patch!

**Issue:**
Fix issue where langchain cannot communicate with Neo4j if Neo4j auth is
disabled.
