Propose to explicitly state that no padding is allowed within a data page. This makes it easier for BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT decoder to decode page with nulls. In this way, it can simply get the number of encoded values by
total_length_encoded_stream / K (4 for float and 8 for double)
. Otherwise, it has to decode def/rep levels to get exact number of non-null values.
