   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   Currently, the method is implemented as this:
   ```rust
       pub fn null_bit_buffer(mut self, buf: Buffer) -> Self {
           self.null_bit_buffer = Some(buf);
           self
       }
   ```
   
   Why not set the type of `buf` to be `Option<Buffer>`?
   Two reasons of this change:
   1. more straightforward
   2. There are lots of cases where we have to use `if-else` branch to add null 
bitmap:
   ```rust
   let mut builder = ArrayDataBuilder::new(...);
   if let Some(null_buffer) == null_bit_map {
       builder.null_bit_buffer(null_buffer)
   }
   ...
   ```
   We can avoid these !
