SystemTypeConverter.WriteYaml() now handles null values by emitting an empty scalar instead of crashing with NullReferenceException. SystemTypeConverter.ReadYaml() now handles empty/null scalar values by returning null instead of throwing on Type.GetType(). Added tests: CanSerializeNullType, CanSerializeNonNullType, NullTypeRoundTrips, NonNullTypeRoundTrips. Fixes the issue reported in PR aaubry#1038.

Added a test to demonstrate a bug where CLR types can't be serialised if they're null.
