[FLOW3-general] General Converter Behaviour

[Carsten Bleicker]

maybe there is also no need for exceptions.
in the last release there was a change from default nullable to notnullable, right?
so if the converter returns null there already an exception thrown by doctrine, right?
so no need anymore for exceptions in converters. 

if column is marked as nullable anything should work as expected.
