[FLINK-36029] Add @Nullable Annotation to ValueState's Value Method Return Type

[twosom]

What is the purpose of the change

The ValueState#value description says that null can be returned, but the method does not have the @Nullable annotation.

So it seems reasonable to add the @Nullable annotation to make it easier for the IDE to find the NPE.

Brief change log

• added @javax.annotation.Nullable annotation on ValueState#value
