    Nuke CompareToNull AST node. · 8c744768

    The Great Master Plan is to move the recognition of special cases for
    comparisons further down the compilation pipeline where more information is
    available. This is a first step into this direction: The special handling of
    equality comparisons involving null is pushed from the parser to the code
    generators, removing the need for a special AST node. (There are rumors from
    usually well-informed sources that this node type is actually a relic of ancient
    crankshaft days...)
    
    The next steps will be the unification of null/undefined handling and pushing
    the special case handling in crankshaft even further down the pipeline, enabling
    the recognition of cases like "var foo=null; if (foo === bar) ...", but these
    will be in separate CLs.
