Implement warning for integral null pointer constants other than the literal 0.
This is effectively a warning for code that violates core issue 903 & thus will become standard error in the future, hopefully. It catches strange null pointers such as: '\0', 1 - 1, const int null = 0; etc... There's currently a flaw in this warning (& the warning for 'false' as a null pointer literal as well) where it doesn't trigger on comparisons (ptr == '\0' for example). Fix to come in a future patch. Also, due to this only being a warning, not an error, it triggers quite frequently on gtest code which tests expressions for null-pointer-ness in a SFINAE context (so it wouldn't be a problem if this was an error as in an actual implementation of core issue 903). To workaround this for now, the diagnostic does not fire in unevaluated contexts. Review by Sean Silva and Richard Smith. llvm-svn: 161501
