This is not needed, as ValueVectorDataPopulator.setVector will do the allocation.

I removed all explicit calls for allocation if the utility method performs the allocation.

This is not needed either, as ValueVectorDataPopulator.setVector calls the getSafe method.

This PR fixes a bug where appending an empty list vector fails with a `NullPointerException`. Instead of attempting to process the delta vector, we just return early with the unmodified target vector, since there is nothing to append to the target vector from the delta vector. In addition, it fixes cases where appending an empty delta vector would've caused the same NPE, or where it'd be an optimization to not attempt processing an empty delta vector. Unit tests are added for all supported `VectorAppender` vector types.
