Review Comment:
   I don't think the NiFi framework allows null for an attribute key.  However, 
the Java HashMap allows a null key.  I felt that FlowFilePackagerV3 is generic 
enough that it could be used in unit tests where the framework isn't present to 
enforce that restriction.  Essentially, I changed this line to be safe in "you 
never know" situations.
   
   I thought of not outputting an attribute with a null key at all, but that 
would throw off the number of attributes written by `writeFieldLength` on line 
37.
