[analyzer] If we call a C++ method on an object, assume it's non-null.

This is analogous to our handling of pointer dereferences: if we
dereference a pointer that may or may not be null, we assume it's non-null
from then on.

While some implementations of C++ (including ours) allow you to call a
non-virtual method through a null pointer of object type, it is technically
disallowed by the C++ standard, and should not prune out any real paths in
practice.

  [class.mfct.non-static]p1: A non-static member function may be called
    for an object of its class type, or for an object of a class derived
    from its class type...
  (a null pointer value does not refer to an object)

We can also make the same assumption about function pointers.
