Review comment:
Regarding points of your suggestion:
- `DictReaderImpl` has `NullStateReaders.REQUIRED_STATE_READER`
`NullStateReader`, i.e. it can't be `NULL` (like `MapReader`).
- `DICT` can't have `NULL` key as it is `REQUIRED`.
- If the `DICT` has a key, but the value is `NULL`, then `isNull()` for the
value returns `true` - yes.
- in the (tricky) case of a missing key from the `DICT`, the latter approach
was taken - there is no differentiation between missing key and `NULL` value.
(The new `Null*Reader`s are introduced to be used in the case of a missing key
- their `isNull()` always returns `true`; note, that in case when a key is
present and the value is `NULL`, current (non-null) readers' `isNull()` will
return `true` for that particular position, as corresponding value reader keeps
track of nullability). The former approach was discarded to ensure uniform
behavior without a chance of getting `NPE` or making `null`-checks.
