Pavel Solodovnikov 06e785994f large_data_handler: fix segmentation fault when constructing data_value from a nullptr
It turns out that `cql_table_large_data_handler::record_large_rows`
and `cql_table_large_data_handler::record_large_cells` were broken
for reporting static cells and static rows from the very beginning:

In case a large static cell or a large static row is encountered,
it tries to execute `db::try_record` with `nullptr` additional values,
denoting that there is no clustering key to be recorded.

These values are next passed to `qctx.execute_cql()`, which
creates `data_value` instances for each statement parameter,
hence invoking `data_value(nullptr)`.

This uses `const char*` overload which delegates to
`std::string_view` ctor overload. It is UB to pass `nullptr`
pointer to `std::string_view` ctor. Hence leading to
segmentation faults in the aforementioned large data reporting
code.

What we want here is to make a null `data_value` instead, so
just add an overload specifically for `std::nullptr_t`, which
will create a null `data_value` with `text` type.

A regression test is provided for the issue (written in
`cql-pytest` framework).

Tests: test/cql-pytest/test_large_cells_rows.py

Fixes: #6780
