Fix crash with --allow_analysis_failures when RuleClass.ConfiguredTargetFactory.create() returns null

Native implementations of RuleClass.ConfiguredTargetFactory.create() can return
null, either explicitly (e.g. see GenRuleBase.java) or by calling
RuleConfiguredTargetBuilder.build() - which is @Nullable.

This fact was neither documented nor annotated. The natural result was that
ConfiguredTargetFactory misused the API and assumed the returned
ConfiguredTarget was non-null. In fact, it can be null, and requires wrapping
in an erroredConfiguredTarget() - same as for Starlark rule classes.

Fixes e.g. crashes with --allow_analysis_failures (or when using Skylib's
analysistest with expect_falure = True) in genrules with failing make variable
expansion, but the same class of crash could until now have been triggered
using many other native rules. All such rules' create() methods are now
annotated @Nullable for clarity.
