Broken layout view for nullable types

[controlflow]

ObjectLayoutInspector.TypeLayout.PrintLayout<int?>();

Result:

Type layout for 'Nullable`1'
Size: 8 bytes. Paddings: 0 bytes (%0 of empty space)

This seems like a simple fix. You can update method TryCreateInstanceSafe() in ReflectionHelper.cs as follows:

Original:

...
            // Value types are handled separately
            if (t.IsValueType)
            {
                return Success(Activator.CreateInstance(t));
            }
...

New:

...
            // Value types are handled separately
            if (t.IsValueType)
            {
                return IsNullable(t) ? Success(GetUninitializedObject(t)) : Success(Activator.CreateInstance(t));
            }
...

where IsNullable() is defined as follows:

private static bool IsNullable(Type type) => Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type) != null;

I have tested the change with byte?, int?, long?, decimal?, DateTime?, DateOnly?, CustomStruct? with no issues.

Thanks.
