Jonas Jensen 8654ebcbbd C++: Avoid using nullValue predicate ...

The `nullValue` predicate performs a slow custom data-flow analysis to
find possible null values. It's so slow that it timed out after 1200s on
Wireshark.

In `UnsafeCreateProcessCall.ql`, the values found with `nullValue` were
used as sources in another data-flow analysis. By using the `NullValue`
class as sink instead of `nullValue`, we avoid the slow-down of doing
data flow twice. The `NullValue` class is essentially the base case of
`nullValue`. Confusing names, yes.
