Undeprecate isNull

There's no good reason to deprecate it:
- For consistency reasons it should continue to exist, such that all
primitive types have a corresponding `builtins.is*` primop.
- There's no implementation cost to continuing to have this function
- It costs users time to try to migrate away from it, e.g.
  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/219747 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/275548
- Using it can give easier-to-read code like `all isNull list`
