Misc #11520: Inconsistent behavior in Array#compact!

----------------------------------------
I noticed that `Array#compact!` sometimes returns `self` and other times `nil`. This behavior was a bit confusing.
[].compact!
# => nil
[1].compact!
# => nil
[nil].compact!
# => []
[1, nil].compact!
# => [1]
I would prefer that `Array#compact!` either always returns `nil`, or always returns `self`.
