repro case

clang warns if a C function with "nonnull" specified on the return value
actually does returns null.  That's good.  It should, but doesn't, do the same
for Obj-C methods.

Consider attached sample:

-----------------------------------------------
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface MyObj : NSObject
@end

@implementation MyObj
+ (nonnull id)method
{
  return nil; // WANT WARNING HERE
}
@end

static void* __nonnull MyFunction (void)
{
  return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
  MyFunction();
  [MyObj method];
  return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------

built with:

clang version 3.8.0 (trunk 243643)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.4.0
Thread model: posix

clang -fsyntax-only -Weverything test.m

gives:

test.m:15:2: warning: null returned from function that requires a non-null
return value [-Wnonnull]
        return NULL;
        ^      ~~~~

ie, works for function, but not method.

(Xcode 6.4 and 7.0b4 clang also fail to warn, see <rdar://22093658>.)</pre>
