Subject: Add compact_blank shortcut for reject(&:blank?)

I frequently find myself having to .compact but for blank. which means
on an array reject(&:blank?) (this is fine), or,
on a hash `.reject { |_k, v| v.blank? }` which is slightly more
frustrating and i usually write it as .reject(&:blank?) first and am
confused when it's trying to check if the keys are blank.

I've added the analagous .compact_blank! where there's a reject! to
build on (there's also a reject! in Set, but there's no other core_ext
touching Set so i've left that alone)
