GH-399 Fix setPosition fails with NullPointerException
Fixed a
NullPointerExceptioninDenseUnionWriter#setPosition.The issue was that
setPositiontried to update all writers in its internal array, even if they hadn't been initialized yet. I added a null check so it only updates writers that actually exist.Also added a regression test (
TestDenseUnionWriterNPE) to verify the fix and updated.gitignore.Closes #399.
