RFR 4358774: Add null InputStream and OutputStream

[Jonathan Gibbons]

"null" is a significant term in the Java ecosystem, and the relationship 
here, to /dev/null or NUL seems somewhat tenuous.

Have any other names been considered?  At least for the InputStream, 
calling it an "empty stream" seems more intuitive than a "null stream".
