to_char(.., null) should be NULL, not ..

[alamb]

The newly added to_char's null handling is not quite correct -- specifically when the format string is null, the output should be null, but now it returns the first argument

Goal is to make to_char do what postgres does:

          Postgres seems to think this should be null

postgres=# select to_char(interval '1 day', null);
 to_char
---------

(1 row)

There are existing tests in timestamp.slt, this should simply be a matter of updating the code (see #9181) -- I think this would be a good first issue
