encoding/json: fix decoding of JSON null values

JSON decoding currently fails for null values bound to any type
which does implement the JSON Unmarshaler interface without checking
for null values (such as time.Time).

It also fails for types implementing the TextUnmarshaler interface.

The expected behavior of the JSON decoding engine in such case is
to process null by keeping the value unchanged without producing
any error.

Make sure null values are handled by the decoding engine itself,
and never passed to the UnmarshalText or UnmarshalJSON methods.

Fixes #9037
