AK: Add RETURNS_NONNULL attribute and use it

Browse source 
This attribute tells compilers that the pointer returned by a function
is never null, which lets it optimize away null checks in some places.
This seems like a nice addition to `NonnullOwnPtr` and `NonnullRefPtr`.

Using this attribute causes extra UBSan checks to be emitted. To offset
its performance loss, some additional methods were marked ALWAYS_INLINE,
which lets the compiler optimize duplicate checks
