Find return null in functions with nullable returns

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.kotlin.idiom.FindReturnNullExplicit$KtRecipe
Artifactio.moderne.recipe:recipes-kotlin

An explicit return null is rarely the clearest expression of intent — usually the calling chain that produces the nullable can use ?: or mapNotNull to handle the no-value case at the boundary, not the inside.
