New and Noteworthy

Fixed a regression introduced in picocli 4.7.2.
Multi-value options whose fallbackValue is set to CommandLine.Option.NULL_VALUE, may see a NullPointerException if the option is specified on the command line without a parameter but with a = attached, like --option=.

Also, this release fixes broken links in the Javadoc.
