      $gte comparing null with number differs

      For the most part $gte is behaving differently between versions
      2.4.5 0 $gte null : False
      2.5.4 0 $gte null : True

      It does seem to be affected by schema, see second case below.

      Reproduce:

      db.q.drop()
db.q.insert({"b" : [ { "d" : 314159265019 }, { "b" : 0 }, { "0" : 314159265019 } ] })
db.q.find( { "b.b" : { $gte : null } } ).itcount()

      2.4.5: Zero documents returned
      2.5.4-Pre: 1 Document returned

      As the structure changes, the behavior changes

      db.q.drop()
db.q.insert({"b" : [ { "b" : 0 } ] })
db.q.find( { "b.b" : { $gte : null } } ).itcount()

      2.4.5: Zero documents returned
      2.5.4-Pre: Zero Document returned
