Fix build error with g++ 6.3 (Debian Stretch)

On this platform, TEST_NULLPTR fails, even though nullptr and
nullptr_t are supported:

/home/jepler/src/stepcode/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/src.cxx:4:23:
    error: converting to 'bool' from 'std::nullptr_t'
    requires direct-initialization [-fpermissive]
 int main() {return !!f();}
                      ~^~

Subsequent to this failure, the workaround definitions in sc_nullptr.h
prevent standard C++ headers (which must refer to real nullptr) to fail.

The failure occurs because the C++ standard apparently does not state
that operator! may be used on nullptr.  Despite this, some compilers
have historically allowed it.  g++ 6.3's behavior appears to be aligned
with the standard.

As requested by @brlcad, ensure that the function 'f' is used from main,
to avoid a clever (but not nullptr-supporting) compiler from somehow
skipping 'f' altogether, creating a false positive for nullptr support.
