A keyed read whose checker type is a record but whose storage is
`record | null` (iconv-lite's `module.exports.encodings = null`, filled
on first use and read as `encodings[enc]`) built a recordKeyGet on the
union and failed IR validation with SC9001.
The optional-receiver guard that keyed reads already use for
`record | undefined` now also takes a null arm for string and number
keys: the receiver and key evaluate once, a null receiver throws Node's
"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'k')", and a present one reads
the record. Other keys keep their checked-dynamic read, and keyed writes
are unchanged.
