CFError: do not test CFErrorCreate with a NULL domain - #78

Apple CoreFoundation dereferences the domain, so passing NULL crashes there rather than returning NULL. Only corebase handles it defensively, so the case cannot run on the reference implementation.

CFErrorCreate requires a non-NULL domain. On Apple CoreFoundation, passing NULL
dereferences the domain and crashes, so the assertion that it returns NULL only
holds for corebase's defensive handling and cannot run on the reference
implementation. Removing the case lets the suite pass on CoreFoundation; the rest
of the file is unaffected.
