Add nullate utilities

It's a common task to reset all properties of an object to null (or to default
values for primitives), for instance in Struts in the reset method of subclasses
of ActionForm.

It would be usefull to have something like
- nullateProperties(Object _o)
 to nullate the properties of _o declared by the class of _o

- nullateProperties(Object _o, Class _clazz)
 to nullate the properties of _o declared by _clazz

- nullateProperties(Object _o, Class _clazz, boolean _bAncestorsToo)
 to nullate the properties of _o declared by _clazz and its ancestors
