Fix null value handling in ParameterBindingJsonReader#readStringFromExtendedJson.

This commit makes sure to return null for a null parameter value avoiding a potential NPE when parsing data.
In doing so we can ensure object creation is done with the intended value that may or may not lead to a downstream error eg. when trying to create an ObjectId with a null hexString.

Closes: #4282
Original pull request: #4334
