For the reference types anyref, anyfunc, and nullref, there exist
sub-typing rules. The spec says
A reference type reftype1 matches a reference type reftype2 if and only
if:
* Either both reftype1 and reftype2 are the same.
* Or reftype1 is nullref.
* Or reftype2 is anyref.
This CL introduces the type nullref for ref-null, and implements the
sub-typing rules in the function-body-decoder.
Note that because of the sub-typing check validation performance may
regresses. In that case we can optimize the sub-typing check.
