AIX headers do not have a complete definition of NULL and the GCC
build complains about "missing sentinel".

The appended patch substitutes a more complete definition of NULL that
satisfies GCC/G++.

I also updated the void_null fix, which was discussed in 2011 to
substitute a more complete definition of NULL.  void_null no longer
triggers on AIX because of the "__cplusplus" bypass, which appears in
AIX header files.  I can omit void_null from the patch or remove the
fix completely if it no longer is applicable to any target.

(Yes, I will update fixinclude tests, but I first want agreement on
the fix itself.)

Bootstrapped on powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0.

Thanks, David

        * inclhack.def (aix_null): New.
        (void_null): Substitute newer definition of NULL.
        * fixincl.x: Regenerate.
