Given two Sets of integers, return the symmetric difference (elements that are in either set but not in both). The result should be a new Set. Return null if either input is null.
Examples:
Input: set1 = {1, 2, 3}, set2 = {2, 3, 4}
Output: {1, 4}
Explanation: 1 is only in set1, 4 is only in set2. Elements 2 and 3 are in both sets so they are excluded.
Input: set1 = {1, 2}, set2 = {3, 4}
Output: {1, 2, 3, 4}
Explanation: No common elements, so all elements are in the symmetric difference.
Input: set1 = {1, 2}, set2 = {1, 2}
Output: {}
Explanation: Both sets contain the same elements, so the symmetric difference is empty.
Input: set1 = null, set2 = {1, 2}
Output: null
Explanation: Null input returns null.
