Merge #10483: scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL

90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
  * an integer literal with value zero, or
  * a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`

  By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.

  For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
  Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf

  With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:

  ```
  $ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
  0
  ```

  The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
  * `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
  * `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)
