[PATCH] D17034: Add an AST matcher for null pointers

There are several ways to specify a null pointer constant. C++11 has nullptr, GNU has the __null extension, and there's always NULL/0. This AST matcher will match on anything that generates a null pointer value, without requiring the user to figure out how to spell that with existing matchers.
