fast-export: avoid NULL pointer arithmetic

Clang 6 reports the following warning, which is turned into an error in a DEVELOPER build: builtin/fast-export.c:162:28: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic] return ((uint32_t *)NULL) + mark; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ 1 error generated. The compiler is correct, and the error message speaks for itself. There is no need for any undefined operation -- just cast mark to void * or uint32_t after an intermediate cast to uintptr_t. That encodes the integer value into a pointer and later decodes it as intended. While at it remove an outdated comment -- intptr_t has been used since ffe659f94d (parse-options: make some arguments optional, add callbacks), committed in October 2007.
