* fix: deal with null objects in errors in Form.filterErrorsBasedOnSchema()
Fixes rjsf-team#4306 by using `lodash.isNil()` instead of comparing to `undefined`
- Updated `Form.filterErrorsBasedOnSchema()` to use lodash `isNil()` to check if the key is either null or undefined
- Updated the `CHANGELOG.md` accordingly

* - Made name more correct
