Description

When using parquet-tools on a parquet file with null records the null columns are omitted from the output.

 

Example:
```java

scala> case class Foo(a: Int, b: String)
defined class Foo

scala> org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate.createDataset((0 to 1000).map(x => Foo(1,null))).write.parquet("/tmp/foobar/")
```
Actual:
```java

☁  parquet-tools [master] ⚡  java -jar target/parquet-tools-1.10.1-SNAPSHOT.jar cat -j /tmp/foobar/part-00000-436a4d37-d82a-4771-8e7e-e4d428464675-c000.snappy.parquet | head -n5
{"a":1}
{"a":1}
{"a":1}
{"a":1}
{"a":1}
```
Expected:
```java

{"a":1,"b":null}
{"a":1,"b":null}
{"a":1,"b":null}
{"a":1,"b":null}
{"a":1,"b":null}
```
