The follwing tests fail unexpected with : "Argument(s) are different"

@Test
public void shouldMatchVarArgs_isNotNull()   {
    mock.varargs();
    verify(mock).varargs(isNotNull());
}

@Test
public void shouldMatchVarArgs_isNotNullArray()   {
    mock.varargs();

    verify(mock).varargs((String[])isNotNull());
}

Expected is that the tests pass cause an empty vararg array is not null!

Using the new `type()`, we can differentiate between matching all varargs
or only one argument of the varargs.

# Benefits:

Because this approach leaves `VarargsMatcher` untouched, it does not require additional existing matchers to implement `VarargsMatcher` to fix issues such as #567. Where as the first PR would require `Null` and `NotNull` to be marked `VarargsMatcher`.

This PR creates new variants of `isNotNull` and `isNull` to address #567. 
Having `InstanceOf` override `type()` provides a workable solution to #1593.
Having `equals` override `type` addresses #1222.

# Downsides

The obvious downside is that this changes the public `ArgumentMatcher` interface, though in a backwards compatible way.

## Known limitation

The main limitation I'm aware of, is not a new limitation. It is that it is not possible to assert only a single parameter is passed to the vararg parameter, when using a `VarargMatcher`, e.g. `any()`. (ref: #1593). For example:

```java
// Given method:
int vararg(String... args);

// I want to mock this invocation:
mock.vararag("one param");

// ...but not these:
mock.vararg();
mock.vararg("more than", "one param");
```

There is no current way to do this.  This is because in the following intuitive mocking:

```java
given(mock.vararg(any(String.class))).willReturn(1);
```

... matches zero or more vararg parameters, as the `any()` method is using `VarargMatcher`. It seems to me that `VarargMatcher` is... a little broken!  This is maybe something that should be consider a candiate for fixing in the next major version bump.  

While it is not possible to fix any `VarargMatcher` based matchers in a backwards compatible way, this the approach in this PR it is possible to mock/verify exactly one vararg param using `isA`, rather than `any`:

```java
    @test
    public void shouldMatchExactlyOnParam() {
        mock.varargs("one param");

        verify(mock).varargs(isA(String.class));
    }

    @test
    public void shouldNotMatchMoreParams() {
        mock.varargs("two", "params");

        verify(mock, never()).varargs(isA(String.class));
    }

    @test
    public void shouldMatchAnyNumberOfParams() {
        mock.varargs("two", "params");

        verify(mock).varargs(isA(String[].class));
    }

```

... because `isA` does not implement `VarargsMatcher`, and so can work as expected once it implements `type()`.

With #2807 merged, the second test above can be achieved, not through casts, but through using the variant of isNotNull that takes a type:

@Test
public void shouldMatchVarArgs_isNotNullArray()   {
    mock.varargs();

    verify(mock).varargs((String[])isNotNull(String[].class));
}

However, the first test is invalid:

@Test
public void shouldMatchVarArgs_isNotNull()   {
    mock.varargs();
    verify(mock).varargs(isNotNull());
}

This previously would have matched a varargs() call with 1 or more parameters, and now matches a call with exactly 1 parameter. Hence the verify call would fail in both cases as the method is called with no parameters.
