    set_field_to_null_with_conversions()
    field		Field to update
    no_conversion	Set to 1 if we should return 1 if field can't
			take null values.
			If set to 0 we will do store the 'default value'
			if the field is a special field. If not we will
			give an error.

  RETURN VALUES
    0		Field could take 0 or an automatic conversion was used
    -1		Field could not take NULL and no conversion was used.
		If no_conversion was not set, an error message is printed
