Here is a patch which adds support for the returns_nonnull attribute
alongside all the other attributes we optionally support.
I recently wound up in a situation where I was checking for NULL return
values of a function that couldn't ever return NULL because the
inability to allocate memory was always elog(ERROR)ed (aborted).
I didn't go through and mark anything, but I feel like it could be
useful for people going forward, including myself.
