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.
