Null Safety [Update: All packages now migrated.]

[Yegorisa]

Since Null Safety is in beta, it is time to update Flutter Firebase libraries to support null safety. Are there any timelines on this? Thanks!

---

EDIT (@Salakar): All packages are now migrated - thanks everyone 🙂

Yes! All the reworked plugins are currently being migrated to nullsafety.
