Style/Cell.php does not accept null values to unset some values

[SpraxDev]

Describe the bug and add attachments

Some values like vMerge and vAlign are type-hinted as string (not nullable) although they are initialized as null until explicitly set/parsed.

That means, there is no proper way to unset some values where it would make sense to 'remove' that attribute. The parameter for setVMerge and setVAlign for example even has a default value of null set, which is not valid according to its type-hint and makes everything even more confusing.

Expected behavior

I think it would make sense to allow null to be set for some attributes and everything to be type-hinted accordingly.

Steps to reproduce

$phpWord = new PhpWord();
$section = $phpWord->addSection();

$table = $section->addTable();
$row = $table->addRow();

$cell = $row->addCell();
$cell->addText('no vAlign');
$cell->getStyle()->setVAlign(VerticalJc::BOTTOM);
$cell->getStyle()->setVAlign();

• [ ] I want to crowdfund the bug fix (with @algora-io) and fund a community developer.
• [ ] I want to pay the bug fix and fund a maintainer for that. (Contact @Progi1984)

I wouldn't mind creating a PR for that if allowing null is the correct thing to do. I'm planning to do some PRs anyway already – I just wasn't sure if such a PR would be accepted or whether another solution would be preferred.
