    Instead of throwing a NullPointerException,
    ArrayUtils.toStringArray(Object[]) should return "null" for null
    elements like ArrayUtils.toStringArray(Object[], String) returns its
    valueForNullElements.
    
    This also allows toStringArray(Object[]) to be implemented as
    toStringArray(array, "null")
