Motivation
RichEventParser.parseSchemaChange() always returns a CdcSchema object even when there is no actual schema change. This causes empty schema change events to be sent to the Schema Evolution operator via side output, resulting in unnecessary network overhead and processing.

Solution
Return null from parseSchemaChange() when there is no schema change (no field changes and no comment changes). This is consistent with RichCdcMultiplexRecordEventParser which already returns null when the table
should not be synchronized.
