Also found some bugs:
1. var_item_copy() always fails to copy v:_null_list and v:_null_dict. Fixing
this should mean fixing `deepcopy(v:_null_list)` which should’ve been, but
was not listed in #4615. This also fixes `deepcopy(v:_null_dict)`.
2. var_item_copy() crashes when trying to copy NULL string with `conv != NULL`.
3. `conv` argument is ignored when copying list unless `deep` is true, but it
was not reflected in documentation.
4. `tv_dict_item_alloc_len()` allocated more memory then needed.
5. typvalt2lua was not able to handle self-referencing containers.
