The doc strings of edebug-print-length and edebug-print-level imply that
nil is a valid value and indeed it is. Yet trying to set the value to
nil via `M-x customize-option' fails with the error "This field should
contain an integer", because nil does not fit the customization type
:integer used in the definitions of these user options. It's been like
this since they were changed from defvars to defcustoms more than 20
years ago (though "If non-nil" was added to the doc strings only a
little less than 10 years ago), so should the fix (below) go into
master, or is it on the order of a documentation fix and suitable for
the release branch?
