OGNL-102 Improves performance when null was returned

[lukaszlenart]

This PR introduces options to short-circuit chain operations on null result in case if accessing property of the object, eg. obj1.property where obj1 is null or obj1.obj2.property where obj2 is null.

This functionality is enabled by default, use -Dognl.chain.short-circuit=false to disable it.

@davoustp @harawata @quaff could you take a look? This is another approach to improve performance, it's in relation to #138 and the JIRA ticket. @harawata I have added your test cases from #140 and they passed.
