Canonicalize an assume(load != null) into !nonnull metadata
We currently have two ways of informing the optimizer that the result of a load is never null: metadata and assume. This change converts the second in to the former. This avoids a need to implement optimizations using both forms.
We should probably extend this basic idea to metadata of other forms; in particular, range metadata. We view is that assumes should be considered a "last resort" for when there isn't a more canonical way to represent something.
