Several field mappers have a null_value parameter, that allows you to specify a placeholder value to insert into a document if the incoming value for that field is null. The default value for this is always null, meaning "add no placeholder". However, we explicitly bar users from setting this parameter directly to null (done in elastic#7978, in order to fix an NPE). This exclusion means that if a mapper is serialized with include_defaults, then we either need to special-case null_value to ensure that it is not output when it holds the default value, or we find that the resulting serialized form cannot be used to create a mapping. This stops us doing some useful generic testing of mappers. This commit permits null as a parameter value for null_value, and changes the tests to check that it is a) permissible and b) applied without throwing errors. As part of the testing changes, a new base class MapperServiceTestCase is refactored from MapperTestCase, holding the various helper methods related to building mappings but not the single-mapper specific abstract methods. Closes elastic#58823
