Philip Reames a88caeab6c [FunctionAttr] Infer nonnull attributes on returns
Teach FunctionAttr to infer the nonnull attribute on return values of functions which never return a potentially null value. This is done both via a conservative local analysis for the function itself and a optimistic per-SCC analysis. If no function in the SCC returns anything which could be null (other than values from other functions in the SCC), we can conclude no function returned a null pointer. Even if some function within the SCC returns a null pointer, we may be able to locally conclude that some don't.
