> JavaScript: null values turn into empty structs in constructor

> Key: THRIFT-3293

> Given a struct definition with an optional struct field, e.g.
> {code}
> struct Foo {
> 1: Bar bar,
> }
> {code}
> Trying to initialize it to a null value like
> {code}
> new Foo({"bar": null});
> {code}
> will instead set bar to an empty Bar object.
> This happens because the constructor tests for undefined values, but not for
> null.
> In addition to direct user calls, the internal copyList and copyMap functions
> introduced for THRIFT-3122 now often trigger this by initializing one object
> from another, making it hard to work around.
