Do not materialize null images in PS (#5979)

## Problem

PG16 is writing null images during relation extension.
And page server implements optimisation which replace WAL record with
FPI with page image.
So instead of WAL record ~30 bytes we store 8kb null page image.
Ans this image is almost useless, because most likely it will be shortly
rewritten with actual page content.

## Summary of changes

Do not materialize wal records with null page FPI.
