Annotate public APIs with an internal definition of `@Nullable` where appropriate. This proposal is a follow up from the discussion [here](https://lists.apache.org/thread/oh09k7nlvntzf49gx7d399d1chdk1z0n). This change adds an internal copy of JSpecify's `@Nullable` to lucene-util and uses Intellij's "infer nullability" feature to automatically apply the annotation to `IndexSearcher` and its dependencies. If this looks good, there will be a follow up PR to automatically annotate other APIs. The motivation for this change is to increase the null safety of downstream projects using Lucene by allowing users to configure a javac plugin to lint their build. This change was tested with NullAway, which recognizes any annotation with the simple class name `@Nullable` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
