This is the "server-side" part of the new friend finding system,
allowing DHT nodes to store small amounts of data and permit searching
for it. A forwarding (proxying) mechanism allows this to be used by TCP
clients, and deals with non-transitivity in the network.
These help static analysis and ubsan. We should eventually have all
functions annotated like this with a cimple check to make sure every
pointer has an explicit nullability annotation. The `nullable`
annotation does nothing in GCC, but will be used by cimple to validate
that every parameter has defined nullability.
