encoding/json: fix decoding of null into Unmarshaler, TextUnmarshaler

1. Define behavior for Unmarshal of JSON null into Unmarshaler and
TextUnmarshaler. Specifically, an Unmarshaler will be given the
literal null and can decide what to do (because otherwise
json.RawMessage is impossible to implement), and a TextUnmarshaler
will be skipped over (because there is no text to unmarshal), like
most other inappropriate types. Document this in Unmarshal, with a
reminder in UnmarshalJSON about handling null.

2. Test all this.

3. Fix the TextUnmarshaler case, which was returning an unmarshalling
error, to match the definition.

4. Fix the error that had been used for the TextUnmarshaler, since it
was claiming that there was a JSON string when in fact the problem was
NOT having a string.

5. Adjust time.Time and big.Int's UnmarshalJSON to ignore null, as is
conventional.

Fixes #9037.
