Consider allowing `null` and `undefined` for doesNotExist

See original GitHub issue

Consider the following

assert.dom(findMatching('button', 'Suspend')).doesNotExist('cannot suspend user')

When there is no button (undefined) this is output:

Expected: "Element div#ember-testing.ember-application[data-ol-has-click-handler] does not exist"
Result: "Element div#ember-testing.ember-application[data-ol-has-click-handler] exists once"

It also means I have to bypass qunit dom, like this:

assert.dom(findMatching('button', 'Restore')).exists('can restore user')
assert.ok(!findMatching('button', 'Suspend'), 'cannot suspend user')

…I see there are tests for this exact scenario, but I wonder if you would consider changing it?
