`FindIfOrNull` returns a pointer to the element in the range if it's
found, and nullptr otherwise. `FindIfOrNone` returns a copy of the
element in the range if it's found, and `T::None` (for a range of
elements of type `T`) otherwise. `Contains` returns a bool indicating
whether the element in the range is found.
These functions replace `llvm::find()` and `llvm::find_if()` when you
want a single answer back instead of an iterator. This avoids the need
to check against `end()`, allowing the return condition to be tested as
a standard bool.
We replace uses of `find()` and `find_if()` that did not require an
iterator with these new helpers.
Note that the return type of `FindIfOrNull` is a pointer since we can
not write `optional<T&>`, which must be tested for null. If the null
check is omitted, UB occurs and the resulting code may end up with an
incorrect pointer (https://crbug.com/40153300) into the range (or
elsewhere), rather than a null dereference. And this would be very
confusing to debug. Hopefully debug builds and sanitizers keep this from
being an issue we sink a bunch of time into debugging.
