[FLINK-8411] [State Backends] inconsistent behavior between HeapListState#add() and RocksDBListState#add() ## What is the purpose of the change `HeapListState#add(null)` will result in the whole state being cleared or wiped out. There's never a unit test for `List#add(null)` in `StateBackendTestBase` ## Brief change log - changed ListState impls such that `add(null)` will be explicitly ignored - added unit tests to test `add(null)` - updated javaDoc ## Verifying this change This change is already covered by existing tests, such as `StateBackendTestBase`. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: yes ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? (no) - If yes, how is the feature documented?
