Remove m.relates_to from events if the client set it to null

It appears as though Python only checks to see if the key exists in a dictionary, not necessarily for a useful value. This means that when clients submit (valid) requests with `m.relates_to: null` and Synapse later reads it, it gets a None reference error on access.

This is the easier route than guarding all the places where it could be None.
