New API feature

Description

There's currently a /papi parse me %someplaceholder%, alongside /papi parse (playername) %someplaceholder%
I suggest the addition of /papi parse null %someplaceholder% (or some other syntax to the same effect).
This would explicitly pass null as the player value to the placeholder, allowing the testing of placeholders in a global context.

This would help a lot when dealing with issues relating to placeholders that don't function when the player is missing.

In particular the main reason I want this myself is that I run support for the Citizens plugin, which often parses placeholders (for things like NPC names and skins) that apply in a global context, with a null player (these parts don't function on a per-player basis).
We occasionally get issue reports of placeholders 'just not working' on NPCs, and having a built-in command to parse explicitly with a null player would allow us to instantly distinguish something wrong on Citizens' end vs something wrong in the placeholder's code (there's a bunch of global placeholders out there that mistakenly return null when the player is null, despite not needing a player reference).
