Adrien PROKOPOWICZ reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

JSON.Encode serializes null objects as "undefined"

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : 3.9.90 (TRUNK)
Product          : Web components


Description
-----------

See example code here : https://gambas-playground.proko.eu/?gist=b70e4b4d0d25d56ba10b1d1ddb6ebfea

If I give JSON.Encode() a Null value (or Variant) it correctly serializes it as `null`.
However if I give it a Null object reference, it gets serialized as `undefined`. 

Which is surprising, but more importantly it is incorrect as there is no `undefined` in JSON.
