[nullsafe][refactor] Consolidate information about the issue to be reported

Summary:
This diff introduces `NullsafeIssue.t`: information about the issue
ready to be reported (and put to `result.json`).

Its notion was already implicitly used in a lot of code.

With this change, the achitechure becomes the following:

Firstly, `TypeErr.err_instance` represents issues at the moment of registration
during the typecheck. At this moment we don't always want to report
them, but it is important to store even non-reportable ones (we use it to calculate mode promotions).

Secondly, given the current `NullsafeMode.t`, we can either report the
issue or not. This logic lives in
`TypeErr.make_nullsafe_issue_if_reportable_lazy` that normally redirects
this decision to Rules (e.g. AssignmentRule or DereferenceRule).

Thirdly, if we want to report the issue, it is time to actually figure
out what to report (e.g. the precise error message, or additional
nullsafe specific `.json` params - see next diffs adding them).

Note that the exact logic of deciding if we want to report / how to
report / what should the message or .json param be is in practice
coupled (otherwise we'd have weird bugs when we decided the issue is
reportable, but don't have a good user facing reason).

In practice such logic for complix issues leaves in Rules.
C.f. `DereferenceRule` and `AssignmentRule` code.

The tricky part is that those rules actually share some common code
responsible for reporting, e.g. when it comes to processing third
parties (so the decision making & reporting is unified). See
`ErrorRenderingUtils.mk_nullsafe_issue_for_untrusted_values` which is
called both from `AssignmentRule` and `DereferenceRule`.

`NullsafeIssue.t` glues together those shared parts of code, and make
dependencies explicit.

Check out the next diff when we add more capabilities to
`NullsafeIssue.t` (e.g. ability to store dependent third party methods).

Without this refactoring, implementing this feature would be rather
tricky.
