We'd at one point been trying to put `[[nodiscard]]` everywhere, but
then we stopped because it had felt verbose without finding many issues
(plus, people plain forgot to add it). Some history in #888.

Since newer code gets added without it, we now have code like:

```
  auto GetLineInfo(Line line) -> LineInfo&;
  [[nodiscard]] auto GetLineInfo(Line line) const -> const LineInfo&;
  auto AddLine(LineInfo info) -> Line;
  auto GetTokenInfo(Token token) -> TokenInfo&;
  [[nodiscard]] auto GetTokenInfo(Token token) const -> const TokenInfo&;
  auto AddToken(TokenInfo info) -> Token;
  [[nodiscard]] auto GetTokenPrintWidths(Token token) const -> PrintWidths;
```

Here, the lack of `[[nodiscard]]` doesn't mean anything: for example,
`GetLineInfo` should not have its result discarded if it's called. But
the mix could be confusing for readers.

As a resolution, remove the attribute. `[[nodiscard]]` should be treated
like other attributes going forward, which essentially means "avoid in
general, add a comment to explain why the attribute is needed" rather
than use-as-default.
