[HUDI-9380] Fix collectColumnRangeMetadata to handle null date types

[voonhous]

Change Logs

HoodieTableMetadataUtil#collectColumnRangeMetadata is not able to handle cases where there are null date types.
Please check HUDI-9380 for the functional test routine to trigger this error.

No tests are added as this static method is a little difficult to test, requiring mocking of many different classes.

I've manually tested this against the failing routine that triggered the failure and have verified that it is no longer throwing an error.

Impact

Fixes error when null date types are present in the records used to generate HoodieColumnRangeMetadata.

Risk level (write none, low medium or high below)

None

Documentation Update

None
