Subject: [PATCH] Fix build with GCC 4.9+.

GCC 4.9+ is too aggressive when optimizing functions with nonnull
attributes. This removes most of asserts() in the plugin.
GCC 6 adds warnings for these cases.

We are disabling the unwanted condition pruning by adding
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks argument.
BIND 9 did the same in its commit 603a78708343f063b44affb882ef93bb19a5142a.

Additionally we enable nonnull attribute only when the build is running under
Clang static analyzer or Coverity.
