This is an automated cherry-pick of #9283

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #9282

Problem Summary:

By dumping the entries from PageStorage WAL, we can locate that two entries cause this issue:

[PageDirectoryFactory.cpp:225] ["{type:VAR_ENT, page_id:0x020102000000009CA4430A08, ori_id:0x.0, version:108969363.0, entry:PageEntry{file: 551, offset: 0x15376, size: 0, checksum: 0x0, tag: 0, field_offsets: [], checkpoint_info: invalid}, being_ref_count:1}"] [thread_id=1]
[PageDirectoryFactory.cpp:225] ["{type:PUT    , page_id:0x020102000000018204A17C03, ori_id:0x.0, version:127726467.0, entry:PageEntry{file: 551, offset: 0x15373, size: 15, checksum: 0x12D46C1C0D5B51FE, tag: 0, field_offsets: [], checkpoint_info: invalid}, being_ref_count:1}"] [thread_id=1]

The first entry is a page with data.size == 0, placed at blob_id=551, offset=0x15376. And later another page is placed at blob_id=551, offset=0x15373 with data.size == 15.
The first page split the free block into smaller pieces free blocks.
The second page will cover the place of the first page. And our code can not handle this situation with "empty page data".

What is changed and how it works?

• For handling the existing empty pages, we won't let it split the free block into small pieces:
  • when STDMapSpaceMap::markUsedImpl accept a block of length == 0, it will directly return true instead of splitting the free block into smaller pieces.
• For newly created empty pages, we store them at the front of BlobFile to avoid further issues:
  • BlobStats::BlobStat::getPosFromStat and STDMapSpaceMap::searchInsertOffset accepts a block of length == 0, it will return insert_offset == 0, which we can "store the empty pages" at the front of the BlobFile for newly created empty pages.
• In BlobStore::read(...), we ensure that reading empty pages won't cause NPE or other unexpected exceptions
