qobject: Add a special null QObject
I'm going to fix the JSON parser to recognize null. The obvious representation of JSON null as (QObject *)NULL doesn't work, because the parser already uses it as an error value. Perhaps we should change it to free NULL for null, but that's more than I can do right now. Create a special null QObject instead. The existing QDict, QList, and QString all represent something that is a pointer in C and could therefore be associated with NULL. But right now, all three of these sub-types are always non-null once created, so the new null sentinel object is intentionally unrelated to them.
