This change adds the ability to search for null values from a dataTables search string.

For example, say there are 3 possible values for a column: Sent, Received, Unknown, yet it is a nullable column. To find Sent and Unknown rows the filter is Sent+Unknown. However, NULL could be interpreted as Unknown too.

With this modification you can specify Sent+Unknown+NULL to see rows with null values. In order to look for the text NULL, escape the value as \NULL.

Changes:

Added a constants for NULL and escaped NULL.
Added code to look for NULL in the list of values and remove it
Added code to look for NULL in a list of boolean tests
Added code to add “column IS NULL” when necessary
Added code to look for NULL as a single value and handle appropriately
Added unit tests to cover all the paths and options
