libpmemobj allows using NULL as a proper layout for pool create/open.
In libpmemobj-cpp, when we provide nullptr as layout` we get (at runtime):
basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
I believe we should fix this - either check for nullptr and exit gracefully or, as in libpmemobj, use an empty layout.
Of course, we have to add a test and extend docs, after that.
In general, pool class documentation is written a bit poorly - it lacks lots of information (which for us are trivial, but are missing for users, who may not read PMDK's manpages before). We should, the very least, add a link to manpage: https://pmem.io/pmdk/manpages/linux/master/libpmemobj/pmemobj_open.3
