Description
src/util-unittests.h contains a few macro definitions that are being used in the new tests. There is PASS, PASS_IF for the success paths. Add a `PASS_IF_NULL` macro. Its function should be as the name suggests. It should pass if the value provided to it is NULL.

This idea was discontinued after some further discussion (see https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/5485).
One of the reasons is that having PASS_IF macros could end up breaking the guideline of having PASS to be the last
thing called in a unit tests (as the PASS_IF macros could end up implicitly calling FAIL, internally).
The other is because it requires reverting the logic of the FAIL calls in order to be written, therefore making the process
more convoluted.
