Boaz Brickner a5ddc3e3cd Support importing C++ _Nonnull pointers as function parameters or return values (#5773)
We avoid using canonical type before knowing it's not a pointer because
we need the nullability attribute.
No support for pointers to pointers, yet.

C++ Interop Demo:

```c++
// hello_world.h

auto hello_world_param(int* _Nonnull i) -> void;
auto hello_world_return() -> int* _Nonnull;
```

```c++
// hello_world.cpp

#include "hello_world.h"
#include <cstdio>

auto hello_world_param(int* _Nonnull i) -> void {
  printf("hello_world: %d\n", *i);
}

static int x = 5;
auto hello_world_return() -> int* _Nonnull { return &x; }
```

```carbon
// main.carbon

library "Main";

import Core library "io";
import Cpp library "hello_world.h";

fn Run() -> i32 {
  var i: i32 = 10;
  Cpp.hello_world_param(&i);

  let p: i32* = Cpp.hello_world_return();
  Core.Print(*p);

  return 0;
}
```

```shell
$ clang -c hello_world.cpp
$ ./bazel-bin/toolchain/install/prefix_root/bin/carbon compile main.carbon
$ ./bazel-bin/toolchain/install/prefix_root/bin/carbon link hello_world.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
hello_world: 10
5
```

Part of #5772.
