AudioRecordQueue behaves incorrectly with no input

[h4yn0nnym0u5e]

Description

As in title, and discussed at https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/68000-AudioRecordQueue-behaves-incorrectly-with-no-input

The Audio library design rules state that a NULL received audio block (from receiveReadOnly()) should be treated as if a silent block had been received. AudioRecordQueue does not do this, but simply fails to count or queue the NULL, even when it has been enabled by queue.begin().

Steps To Reproduce Problem

Create any audio topology which uses AudioRecordQueue, where the input to the queue can be NULL audio blocks: a good candidate is AudioPlaySdWav. Without calling AudioPlaySdWav::begin(), call AudioRecordQueue::begin() and observe that AudioRecordQueue::available() never reports available (silent) data.
