validation: cover nil/None return from lua_func/py_func

Two new steps per language: function returning nothing and function
returning explicit nil/None. Both tagged $(test)_PASS — they would
have failed before the lua nil fix (Lua side reported nil result as
error). Python side already worked but is covered for parity.
