Prevent bind error with undefined/null parameters (#375)

statement.bind(null) initially did not throw an error (and did not bind any parameter either), by chance, because of the way iteration on bind parameters was implemented.

Libraries such as https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm came to depend on this undocumented behavior.

After the port from coffescript to javascript, calling statement.bind with null started to throw an error, which broke some dependent code.

This commit reintroduces the original behavior, documents it, and adds a test for it.
