Set ContinuationPoint (when browse is finished) to null instead of empty array, align with existing 1.5.xxx behavior (#4057)

This pull request standardizes the handling of the `ContinuationPoint`
property in `BrowseResult` objects, ensuring it is always explicitly set
to `null` (or its equivalent) when no continuation point is present.
This change improves clarity and consistency in both the implementation
and the tests, replacing checks for an "empty" continuation point with
checks for a "null" continuation point.

**Codebase consistency and correctness:**

* All `BrowseResult` objects now explicitly set `ContinuationPoint =
default` when no continuation point is to be returned, ensuring
consistent initialization.

**Test updates for new semantics:**

* All test assertions now use `ContinuationPoint.IsNull` instead of
`IsEmpty` to check for the absence of a continuation point, reflecting
the new contract.

* Additional test cases have been added to verify that completed browse
operations and error scenarios always return a null continuation point.
