Summary:
This diff also removes clumsy typeErr.origin_desc and improves interface
of TypeOrigin.
This will allow to render smarter error message, depending on the
context (see follow up diff).

Summary:
This is the first take on strict mode semantics.
The main invariant of strict mode is the following:
If the function passes `NullsafeStrict` check and its return value is
NOT annotated as Nullable, then the function does not indeed return
nulls, subject to unsoundness issues (which should either be fixed, or
should rarely happen in practice).
This invariant helps the caller in two ways:
1. Dangerous usages of non strict functions are visible, so the caller is enforced to check them (via assertions or conditions), or strictify them.
2. When the function is strict, the caller does not need to worry about
being defensive.
Biggest known issues so far:
1. Condition redundant and over-annotated warnings don't fully
respect strict mode, and this leads to stupid false positives. (There is
so much more stupid false positives in condition redundant anyway, so
not particularly a big deal for now).
2. Error reporting is not specific to mode. (E.g. we don't distinct real nullables and non-trusted non-nulls, which can be misleading). To be
improved as a follow up.

Summary:
Currently, we have NullsafeRules.ml responsible for detecting the
violation fact. All other logic: what should be the error type,
severity, and error message, is in TypeErr.ml.
In this diff, we move logic from NullsafeRules.ml and TypeErr.ml to
dedicated modules like AssignmentRule.ml etc.
Each such module is responsible for:
- detecting the violation fact (this is moved from NullsafeRules.ml)
- rendering the violation error (this is moved from TypeErr.ml).
This approach makes sense for two reasons:
1. The violation fact and the way we show error are logically related to
each other.
2. In future diffs, we will support more features guiding rule behavior,
such as a) decision whether to hide or show the error depending on type
information and mode; b) the way we render error depending on type
information and role.
Having dedicated modules incapsulating knowledge about rules is a natural way to support 2.
