### Describe the enhancement requested In `ListVector`, `setNull` doesn't update lastSet. This means that, if you set many null values in a row, the offset buffer is unnecessarily re-set for the intervening values - e.g.: * If I `.setNull(3)` with `lastSet == 2`, I set offset 3 * If I then `.setNull(4)`, `.setNull(5)`, `.setNull(6)`, these set 3->4, 3->5, and 3->6 respectively. * With large and sparse enough vectors, this adds significant time to our internal benchmarks. Naively, I'd put `lastSet = index` in `setNull` in the same way as `startNewValue`, but aware there might be an implicit/nuanced reason for not doing so?
