In an effort to adapt methods and field accesses of type Null to
other types, we were always emitting
aconst_null
pop
aconst_null
The problem is we were doing that even when the JVM was in a position
to know it had null value, e.g. when the user had written a null
constant. This commit fixes that and includes a test to show that the
resulting byte code still works even without repeating ourselves and/or
repeating ourselves.
This commit also makes the scala.runtim.Null$ constructor private. It
was a sealed abstract class which prevented subclassing in Scala, but
it didn't prevent subclassing in Java. A private constructor takes care
of that hole so now the only value of type Null$ should be null.
Along the way I found some other questionable things in adapt and I've
added TODO's and issue https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-7159 to
track.
