[PATCH] First try of null typeset

[Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx>]

This achieves most of what Bart Schaefer's version achieves, except no extra hacks are needed, and
integer and floats are not changed.

This most definetly is not close to the final solution, but shows what can be achieved by narrowing
down the functional changes to two functions.

In my opinion a separate concept of "null" variable will be needed, and should be separate from
PM_UNSET, since that changes a lot of behavior.

Also, I don't think $empty[(i)] should return nothing, so probably paramsubst() would need to be
tuned, not simply set vunset=1.

Addtionally, this patch doesn't change the behavior of the private module.
