ClassPrinter prints `null` values as `String` "null" or as `String.valueOf(ConstantDescs.BSM_NULL_CONSTANT)`, based on context.
This patch unifies handling of `null` values.
They are now exclusively represented as `ConstantDescs.BSM_NULL_CONSTANT`.
In Json and Yaml format is `null` value printed unquoted and in Xml as `<null/>`.
In Json and Yaml is `"null"` `String` printed quoted to distinguish from the `null` value.
Please review.
Thank you,
Adam
