The original intent of this commit was to catch potential null dereferences
early, but it breaks the common "home-grown offsetof" idiom (PR13927):
(((struct Foo *)0)->member - ((struct foo *)0))
As it turns out, this appears to be legal in C, per a footnote in
C11 6.5.3.2: "Thus, &*E is equivalent to E (even if E is a null pointer)".
In C++ this issue is still open:

We'll just have to make sure we have good path notes in the future.
This reverts r164441 / 9be016dcd1ca3986873a7b66bd4bc027309ceb59.

We want to catch cases like this early, so that we can produce better
diagnostics and path notes:
Point *p = 0;
int *px = &p->x; // should warn here
*px = 1;

Original commit message:
Provide -Wnull-conversion separately from -Wconversion.
Like GCC, provide a NULL conversion to non-pointer conversion as a separate
flag, on by default. GCC's flag is "conversion-null" which we provide for
cross compatibility, but in the interests of consistency (with
-Wint-conversion, -Wbool-conversion, etc) the canonical Clang flag is called
-Wnull-conversion.
Patch by Lubos Lunak.
Review feedback by myself, Chandler Carruth, and Chad Rosier.
