[reflection] Check whether a pointer is valid before dereferencing (m…

…ono#19839)

`Xamarin.Android` native runtime calls `mono_reflection_type_from_name`
and passes `NULL` as the `image` parameter.  The parameter is then
propagated all the way to `_mono_reflection_get_type_from_info` where,
in case the assembly isn't loaded yet, it is used to obtain base
directory of the assembly.  However, since the `image` parameter is
`NULL` in our case, attempt to dereference it causes a segfault:

Even though this happens in `Xamarin.Android`, the error may occur for
any embedding application which passes `NULL` for the `image` parameter
in situation when the assembly isn't in memory yet.
