Adds a new option to not serialize `null` values:

```php
$dummy = new class {
    public $foo;
    public $bar = 'notNull';
};

$normalizer = new ObjectNormalizer();
$result = $normalizer->normalize($dummy, 'json', ['skip_null_values' => true]);
// ['bar' => 'notNull']
```

This feature is the only missing part to add [JSON Merge Patch](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7386) support in [API Platform](https://api-platform.com).
It will also help supporting this RFC in all other projects using the Symfony Serializer.
