Exported method returning an unexported struct looks weird

Good point. It's technically valid but can prevent manipulation by packages using the function. We actually only need the Next() method, so I've changed it to return a public interface that exposes only that method instead.

FakeDataWithNilPointerGenerator, a function that returns a generator. On successive calls, the generator returns a filled out interface with exactly one pointer field set to nil. This can be used in tests to detect nil pointer dereference errors.
