URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/25229

   ## Which issue does this PR close?
   
   - Closes #25222.
   
   ## Rationale for this change
   
   Arrow allows elements of a ListArray to be logically NULL (according to the 
validity buffer), but to have a non-empty offset range. Such elements should be 
considered NULL.
   
   `array_append` and `array_prepend` only considered the offsets when 
computing the results of these functions, which resulted in mishandling such 
NULL values.
   
   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   
   * Fix bug in `array_append`, `array_prepend`
   * Update test expectations to remove incorrect expected behavior for FSLs
   * Add new tests
   * Clarify docs on `generic_append_and_prepend` NULL handling
   
   ## What is the testing strategy for this PR?
   
   Yes, new tests added.
   
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   Yes, bugs fixed.
