[PATCH v3 4/7] migration: Rename vmstate_info_nullptr

[Fabiano Rosas]

Rename vmstate_info_nullptr from "uint64_t" to "nullptr". This vmstate
actually reads and writes just a byte, so the proper name would be
uint8. However, since this is a marker for a NULL pointer, it's
convenient to have a more explicit name that can be identified by the
consumers of the JSON part of the stream.

Change the name to "nullptr" and add support for it in the
analyze-migration.py script. Arbitrarily use the name of the type as
the value of the field to avoid the script showing 0x30 or '0', which
could be confusing for readers.
