Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
repro (against 18.1.0):
```java
@Test
public void testStructWithNullVectorChild() {
var field = new Field(
"foo", FieldType.notNullable(ArrowType.Struct.INSTANCE),
List.of(
new Field("null", FieldType.nullable(ArrowType.Null.INSTANCE), List.of())
)
);
try (var al = new RootAllocator()) {
try (var vec = new StructVector(field, al, null)) {
// boom
}
}
}
```
error:
```
Unknown type: NULL
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown type: NULL
at org.apache.arrow.vector.complex.impl.NullableStructWriter.(NullableStructWriter.java:279)
at org.apache.arrow.vector.complex.StructVector.(StructVector.java:74)
at xtdb.api.XtdbHelloWorldTest.testStructWithNullVectorChild(XtdbHelloWorldTest.java:58)
```
Context here is that I'm actually calling `vec.getTransferPair(field, al)` on an existing vector, but the above is a more minimal repro
Cheers folks!
