[PATCH] [analyzer] Assume new returns non-null even under -fno-exceptions

Hi jordan_rose,

-fno-exceptions does not implicitly attach a nothrow specifier to every operator
new. Even in this mode, non-nothrow new must not return a null pointer. Failure
to allocate memory can be signalled by other means, or just by killing the
program. This behaviour is consistent with the compiler - even with
-fno-exceptions, the generated code never tests for null (and would segfault if
the opeator actually happened to return null).
