Feature was accepted by Matz in a dev meeting, so this PR probably should be updated. |

@paracycle looks like there's a zjit thing that needs fixing, then it's good |
Allow methods to declare that they don't accept a block via `&nil`.
Similar to `:nokey` for `**nil` declaring methods/procs, a method/proc with a `&nil` declaration will return a `:noblock` entry in the parameters array.

This PR pushes the original work done by @nobu in #10020 (thank you 🙏) and reworks it slightly along two directions:
accepts_no_block(similar toaccepts_no_kwarg) and decouples the handling of&nilfrom theuse_blockflag which is used for detection for methods that don't make use of the blocks that are passed to them.use_blockshould NOT mean the same thing as&nil, since the latter is an explicit declaration that the method definitely does NOT accept a block, so passing a block should be an error. On the other hand, passing a block to an iseq marked asuse_block == FALSEwill be a warning.accepts_no_blockflag as:noblockin theMethod#parameters,UnboundMethod#parametersandProc#parametersresult arrays. This is inline with**nildeclaration surfacing inparametersas:nokey, and allows method introspection to detect if a method declares that it definitely does NOT accept a block.
