This is a big deal for ObjC, where nullability annotations are extensively
used. I've also changed "Null" -> "null" and removed "is" as this is the
pattern that Sema is using.

Change the nullability checker to not warn along paths where null is returned from
a method with a non-null return type, even when the diagnostic for this return
has been suppressed. This prevents warning from methods with non-null return types
that inline methods that themselves return nil but that suppressed the diagnostic.
Also change the PreconditionViolated state component to be called "InvariantViolated"
because it is set when a post-condition is violated, as well.

In r256567 I changed the nullability checker to suppress warnings about returning a null
value from a function/method with a non-null return type when the type of the returned
expression is itself nonnull. This enables the programmer to silence nullability warnings
by casting to _Nonnull:
return (SomeObject * _Nonnull)nil;
Unfortunately, under ObjC automated reference counting, Sema adds implicit casts to
_Nonnull to return expressions of nullable or unspecified types in functions with
non-null function/method return types. With r256567, these casts cause all nullability
warnings for returns of reference-counted types to be suppressed under ARC, leading to
false negatives.
This commit updates the nullability checker to look through implicit casts before
determining the type of the returned expression. It also updates the tests to turn on
ARC for the nullability_nullonly.mm testfile and adds a new testfile to test when ARC
is turned off.
