Presence of RBIMPL_ATTR_NONNULL let C compilers to eliminate
must_not_null(). Because null pointers are not allowed to exist there
are no reason to call the function. In reality null pointers are still
passed to those functions in a number of ways. Runtime check for them
are definitely nice to have. fix [Feature#18280]
Many functions in string.c assume that capa + termlen to be readable
memory. Add comment in header to communicate this to extension authors.
