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:
As suggested by artempyanykh:
1. Since we recently introduced InferredNullability, AnnotatedNullability deserves its own class which now plays nicely with its counterpart.
2. AnnotatedType is more specific then NullsafeType

Summary:
1/ Nikos Gorogiannis pointed out that
- for highly reused public types, records (especially when >= 3 params) are generally more readable than tuples.
- Records simplify code modifications, especially adding new fields. And we are going to add some, namely param flags, in the future.
2/ Let's make the fact that annotated signature is deprecated more
visible; it will also simplify searching for usages when we will be
getting rid of them.

Summary:
This function is the main entry point for getting annotated signature
for nullsafe.
We will modify it and its callees in follow up diffs to migrate other
features of Annot.items to specialized types.

Summary:
This is a central abstraction for coming future unknown nullability support.
# Context
Annot.ml is a low-level module:
- it contains lists of raw (string) annotations
- no algebraic datatypes for annotations
- it mixes annotations that Nullsafe should be aware of with all sorts of other annotations
- some annotations make sense for return values, some make sense for params, and some make sense for methods.
But, most importantly, it does not contain information about source of an annotation, making it hard to distinct things like "Nonnull as default" vs "Nonnull as explicitly annotated" vs "Nonnull as modelled". Ditto for nullable.
Because of this, it is tricky to introduce unknown nullability in an elegant way.
Let's get rid of using Annot.Item.t in nullsafe code in the following way:
- Move nullability information associated with the Java type to a dedicated algebraic DT.
- Split other annotations that are important for nullsafe into param flags, ret value flags, and method flags, and introduce corresponding datatypes.
# This diff
This diff introduces NullsafeType and adds this to AnnotatedSignature.
It is not used yet, hence the diff is a no-op.
In future diffs, we are going to (see also TODOs in the code):
- actually use this information instead of accessing Annot.item
- add more information to AnnotatedSignature
- remove Annot.item from AnnnotatedSignature
- when this is done, introduce notion of unknown nullability.

Summary:
We historically had Model.Inference, which was an attempt to enhance
models with additional abilities to get the annotation.
This feature got removed in D9805110, including removing of the key
condition Models.Inference.field_is_marked.
This code also is not executed: `Config.eradicate` condition
was an old artefact of migrating Eradicate to callback infrastructure:
D1508451. We run eradicate only as a callback as of now, so this flag is
always true.
In follow up diffs we refactor AnnotationSignature module, and this
cleanup simplifies the refactoring.

Summary:
This abstraction was not always used consistently.
Its usage made more sense when it supported both present annotations and
optional annotation (which got removed in previous diff).
The rought semantic of that was "what is the inferred type for such and
such value (variable or expression) in typestate". So it is not really
_annotation_ in first place, it is more like "what we inferred about
nullability given annotations, known special cases, and current sybmolic
execition state".
Let's explicitly rename `map` to `is_nullable`. If/when we need to
enhance this further (and we likely will), we will do it accordingly.

Summary:
`Present` annotation was an experiment made many years ago that never
got into real usage. The idea was to annotate Optional<> types with
Present, which means that it is safe to call get().
We don't plan to support `Present` annotation for optional types in the
near future.
Support of `Present` annotation requires extra levels of abstraction
that make the changing the behavior and introducing new features harder.
A lot of checks for nullability are written in generic way so they also
check for presense.
Getting rid of that will allow us to simplify our
work for introducing new semantics for nullsafe.
