Add a @Nullable upper bound to a pass-through type parameter fed a null-returning lambda

io.moderne.nullability.infer.AddNullableBoundToPassthroughTypeParameter

When a null-returning lambda is passed to a generic method whose single, unbounded type parameter is also its return type (a value pass-through such as <T> T record(String, Supplier<T>)), widen the declaration to <T extends @Nullable Object> so returning null through it is legal under JSpecify/NullAway. Relaxing the upper bound is sound (it never rejects previously-valid code) and is the standard JSpecify idiom for a type variable that passes a value through; the method's return correctly becomes @Nullable at the null-returning call sites. Only methods declared in the working set, with exactly one unbounded type parameter that is the return type, are changed.
