Ensure ObjectValue.ToStringValue() doesn’t return null

[JanRomero]

Since ToString() can return null, we must guard against this to prevent an ArgumentNullException later in WriteToAsync() when the string value gets encoded.

Can you provide an example that would trigger such exception in a template?

[JanRomero]

@sebastienros sure, this may be contrived but this’ll do it:

public record struct MyModel(string Title, string? Value)
{
    public override string? ToString() => Value;
}

var template = fluidParser.Parse("""
        Title: {{MyItem.Title}}
        Value: {{MyItem}}        
        """);

var dict = new Dictionary<string, object>() { ["MyItem"] = new MyModel() };

template.Render(new TemplateContext(dict)); //System.ArgumentNullException: "Value cannot be null. Arg_ParamName_Name"

Visual Studio will actually generate string? ToString() if nullable types are enabled for the project.
