Probably related to #567

ArgumentCaptor: NPE when an null array is passed to a varargs method
A NullPointerException is thrown if an null array is passed to a varargs method.

```
@Test
public void shouldCaptureVarArgs_nullArrayArg() {
        String[] argArray = null;
        mock.varargs(argArray);

        verify(mock).varargs(captor.capture()); //<- Kaboom NPE
}
```

Since an vararg is simply an array the ArgumentCaptor should reject it silently. This relates to #565.

```
