Review Comment:
   Dug out this issue: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/2738
   
   If the nested struct is null, right now both StructProjection and 
RowDataProjection returns a Projection object wrapping a null struct. I 
actually think it is probably better to just return a null Projection object in 
this case. 
   
   Let me create a separate issue to follow up on this and see if the community 
agrees with the change.
