refactor(headless): convert nullptr checks to strippable macros

Added HEADLESS_RETURN_IF_NULL/HEADLESS_RETURN_VAL_IF_NULL macros
that compile to no-ops in STRIP_ALL/FINAL_STRIP modes.

Files updated:
- fatal_error.h: New headless check macros
- sequence.cc: NodeRegistry::create_texture
- post_process_helper.cc: Pipeline creation functions
- sampler_cache.h: SamplerCache::get_or_create
- bind_group_builder.h: Layout/group builders
- pipeline_builder.h: Shader and pipeline builders
- All effect constructors (7 files)

Headless tests passing. STRIP_ALL builds will have zero overhead.
