Our `null` expression, after the prepare stage, is redundant with a
`constant` expression containing the value NULL.
Remove it. Its role in the unprepared stage is taken over by
untyped_constant, which gains a new type_class enumeration to
represent it.
Some subtleties:
- Usually, handling of null and untyped_constant, or null and constant
was the same, so they are just folded into each other
- LWT "like" operator now has to discriminate between a literal
string and a literal NULL
- prepare and test_assignment were folded into the corresponing
untyped_constant functions. Some care had to be taken to preserve
error messages.
