Special case NULL when using printf's %s format
This changes the printf command's %s and %ls formats to special-case
NULL, and print "(null)" for these. This is PR cli/14977. This
behavior seems a bit friendlier; I was undecided on whether other
invalid pointers should be handled specially somehow, so for the time
being I've left those out.
