Use newEmptyPop() instead of NULL #580

When we started developing SIMplyBee we had to work with empty/NULL populations. This lead to some ugly code with lots of edge cases, but eventually we made it work. A while ago AlphaSimR gained newEmptyPop(), which means we could simplify our code and reliance on the NULL.

Here is an issue chat from AlphaSimR about this issue too: https://github.com/gaynorr/AlphaSimR/issues/190
