bug: Fix NULL handling in array_slice

This commit fixes the array_slice function so that if any arguments are
NULL, the result is NULL. Previously, array_slice would return an
internal error if any of the arguments were NULL. This behavior matches
the behavior of DuckDB for array_slice.

Fixes #10548
