[Mono-dev] DataColumn.DefaultValue fixes

[Atsushi Eno]

Hi Kosta,

Thanks for digging it. It sounds interesting, though I'm not sure how
it is significant. INullable is in System.Data.SqlTypes namespace,
so I'd expect that it is mostly for internal use.

The fix I made for SqlXxx type support as null value is rather
to make Sys.Data classes to not premise DBNull than picking every
possible supported types.

Of course, changing relevant to support INullable is better than
now I think.
