jsonpb: bring back old behaviour of handling nulls and JSONPBUnmarshaler

Change how jsonpb.Unmarshal handles nested JSONPBMarshaler fields a null json values.

When json null is encountered for a field which implements JSONPBUnmarshaler, jsonpb will now calli unmarshal method from the field, instead of just assigning nil to this field.
