Implement G_ANALYZER_NORETURN for Coverity

This change is proposed by Kamil Dudka. It teaches Coverity to assume
that g_critical() will never return, which is desirable for the same
reasons it is for scan-build: once you've triggered undefined behavior,
the game is already lost, and there's limited benefit from trying to
avoid every possible memory leak on such codepaths. Notably, this
affects g_return_if_fail().

Arguably it might be desirable to fix every such issue, but if we're
already not doing so for scan-build, it doesn't make sense to hold
developers working with Coverity to a higher standard. This allows
focusing on more serious issues found by Coverity.

Thanks Kamil!
