for ORM checkRules()

Error

Cake\ORM\Table::checkRules(): Return value must be of type bool, null returned

As the signature of that method is:

public function checkRules(...): bool

The code inside checkRules() reads

$event = $this->dispatchEvent(
    'Model.afterRules',
    compact('entity', 'options', 'result', 'operation')
);

if ($event->isStopped()) {
    return $event->getResult();
}

Maybe, to make this less hard to fail, we should allow null as OK value?

return $event->getResult() ?? false;

What do you think?
