[TIKA-3059] New NPE in ImageGraphicsEngine

Description

When we run the new inline image extraction code on some PDFs, we're getting a new NPE.

for (COSName name : res.getExtGStateNames()) {
            PDSoftMask softMask = res.getExtGState(name).getSoftMask();

In some cases, res.getExtGStateNames() appears to return COSNames that cannot then be found by res.getExtGState(name).

We can add a null check to Tika for now. Is this a bug or feature in PDFBox?
