Add optional "no entities" message to Table widget properties

As a non admin user, it feels odd to see a message like "Check your data sources or add {entity name}s manually." when there are no records to display. While a different message might make more sense globally (or even distinguishing between user roles, since the current message seems more targeted at actions that an admin could take), there could also be value in allowing for a Table widget instance-specific message to be displayed when no matching entities are available to display (e.g., "You have no pull requests waiting on you!" for a list of pull requests assigned to you, or even a message that both highlights no matching entities and adds instructions for what the user should do when that situation is unexpected/undesirable: "No matching repos for your team, please ____")

We have some tables that show data within a timeframe. The text that shows up when the filter doesn't yield any results is "there are no {blueprint title}s". This can sometimes confuse users, as it doesn't indicate that the table only covers the last 7 days. It would be more helpful to use custom text like "There are no code vulnerabilities opened in the last 7 days."

Custom "no data"-message for table widgets

To improve the user experience, it would be helpful to provide a custom message to display when there is no data for a table widget.
For example: the attached picture shows a widget that is supposed to show Pull Requests that are made as a result of Scaffolding Github Repositories. Instead of showing "No data for Widget" we would like to show "You currently have no pending PRs"
