Summary:
One limitation of Eradicate is that certain nullability patterns are not expressible using simply the `Nullable` annotation.
One such pattern is using the knowledge that a function returns null when passed null, but returns an object otherwise.
The annotation `PropagatesNullable` is a variant of `Nullable` applied to parameters when their value propagates to the return value.
A method annotated
```
B m(PropagatesNullable A x) { return x == null ? x : B(x); }
```
indicates that `m` returns null if `x` is null, or an object of class `B` if the argument is not null.
Examples with multiple parameters are in the test cases.
This diff builds some infrastructure for annotation transformers: the example above represents the identity function on nullability annotations.

Summary:
Added two annotations @TrueOnNull and @FalseOnNull to be used for boolean functions to specify what value is returned when the argument is null.
Added model for TextUtils.isEmpty, which corresponds to the annotation
@TrueOnNull
static boolean isEmpty(@Nullable java.lang.CharSequence s)
Summary:
System.getProperty can return null when the property is not found, and expects a non-null argument.
Add models for Infer and Eradicate to reflect that.
