…r properties (#269)

* Rebuilt shadow bindings and updated shadow sample to show how to clear properties
* Modified Shadow sample to fit model generator adjustments that allow passing None as valid input
* Adjusted iotshadow so that the none_is_valid properties default to False
* Minor adjustments to passing None in Shadow
* Updated variable_is_null_valid to variable_is_nullable for better readability. Added setting _is_nullable to from_payload
