Summary:
Now when typechecking a class `A` marked with `Nullsafe(LOCAL)`,
classes from trusted list are properly recognized and nullability of
method params and return value are refined to `LocallyCheckedNonnull`
in a context of class `A`.
NOTE: refininng nullability when **accessing fields** on trusted classes
is **not implemented yet**, because the whole business of handling fields
in nullsafe is somewhat convoluted. This should not be a huge issue
though, since in Java fields are commonly accessed via getters any
way.

Summary:
This will help making error reporting more actionable.
Often methods that are nullable in general (like View.findViewById) are used as not-nullable due to app-invariants. In such cases suggesting a non-nullable alternative that does an assertion under the hood makes the error report more actionable and provides necessary guidance with respect to coding best practices
Follow up will include adding more methods to models.
If this goes well, we might support it in user-defined area (nullability

Summary:
We need to be able to differentiate `UncheckedNonnull`s in internal vs
third-party code. Previously, those were under one `UncheckedNonnull`
nullability which led to hacks for optmistic third-party parameter
checks in `eradicateChecks.ml` and lack of third-party enforcement in
`Nullsafe(LOCAL, trust=all)` mode (i.e. we want to trust internal
unchecked code, but don't want to trust unvetted third-party).
Now such values are properly modelled and can be accounted for
regularly within rules.
Also, various whitelists are refactored using
`Nullability.is_considered_nonnull ~nullsafe_mode nullability`.
`ErrorRenderingUtils` became a tad more convoluted, but oh well, one

Changes in this diff:
1. Fixes the bug: TrueOnNull and FalseOnNull were working only for
static methods. Surpsingly nobody noticed that. It is because the first
argument for non-static method was `this`.
2. Behavior change: TrueOnNull/FalseOnNull were not working correctly
where there are several argumens. See the task attached for the example
of the legit usecase. Now the behavior is the following: if there are
several Nullable arguments infer nullability for all of them.

Summary:
This refactoring unblocks the changes in follow up diffs (plus fixes a
bug).
So what was happening?
Each comparison with null leads to CFG being splitted into two branches, one branch
is PRUNE(a == null) and another is PRUNE(a != null).
PRUNE(a != null) is where most of logic happens, it is the place where
we infer non-null nullability for a, and this is a natural place to
leave a check for redundancy.
Before this diff we effectively checked the same thing twice, and used
`true_branch` (only one of 2 instruction will have it set to true) as a symmetry breaker.
This diff removes the `true_branch` checks, but leaves only one call out
of two, hence breaking symmetry in a different way.
## Bug fix
The code around the removed check was (crazily) doing two things at
once: it processed results of (returning booleans!)
TrueOnNull-annotated functions AND
results of (returning Objects!) other functions, using the fact that all
of them are encoded as zero literals (sic!).
Not surprisingly that lead to a bug where we accidentally call the check
for non intended places (arguments of trueOnNull functions), which lead
to really weird FP.
This diff fixes it.

Summary:
Whole bunch of changes aimed to make error messages more clear and
concise.
1/ Wording and language is unified. We make errors sound more like a
type system violations, rather than linter reccomendations.
Particularly, we refrain from saying things like "may be null" - this is
a linter-style statement that may provoke discussions (what if the
developer knows it can not be null in this particular case).
Instead, we refer to declared nullability and nullability of actual values. This way, it is more clear that this is not a heuristic, this is how rules of a type-system work.
2/ Additionally, we drop things like field class in places when the
context should be clear by who looks at the error. We expect the user
sees the code and the error caption. So e.g. we don't repeat the word "field"
twice.
3/ In cases when we are able to retrieve formal param name, we include it for
usability.
4/ For Field not initialized error, we refer to Initializer methods:
this is a non-obvious but important nullsafe feature.

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:
This continues work for eliminating Annot.Item.t from Nullsafe low-level
code.
The introduced function `from_nullsafe_type` is called when we infer
initial type of the equation based on the function or field formal signature.
Before that, we did it via reading the annotation directly, which
complicates the logic and making introducing Unknown nullability tricky.
## Clarifying the semantics of PropagatesNullable
This diff also clarifies (and changes) the behavior of PropagatesNullable params.
Previously, if the return value of a function that has PropagatesNullable params was
annotated as Nullable, nullsafe was effectively ignoring PropagatesNullable effect.
This is especially bad because one can add Nullable annotation based on the logic "if the function can return `null`, it should be annotated with Nullable`.
In the new design, there is no possibility for such a misuse: the code that
applies the rule "any param is PropagatesNullable hence the return
value is nullable even if not explicitly annotated" lives in NullsafeType.ml, so
this will be automatically taken into account.
Meaning that now we implicitly deduce Nullable annotation for the return value, and providing it explicitly as an alternative that does not change the effect.
In the future, we might consider annotating the return value with `Nullable` explicit.
