Giorgos Keramidas f56be64fb2 ``NULL is a specific instance of a null pointer constant; the generic is
a "null pointer".''

Making good use of the excellent explanations sent to me by Ruslan
Ermilov, Garrett Wollman and Bruce Evans, correct the descriptions of
null pointers.  They are just "null pointers", not nil, not NULL or
".Dv NULL".
