Under strict mode, the language service fails to typecheck nullable
symbols that have already been verified to be non-null.
This generates incorrect (false positive) and confusing diagnostics
for users.
To work around this issue in the short term, this commit changes the
diagnostic message from an error to a suggestion, and prompts users to
use the safe navigation operator (?) or non-null assertion operator (!).
For example, instead of
```typescript
{{ optional && optional.toString() }}
```
the following is cleaner:
```typescript
{{ optional?.toString() }}
{{ optional!.toString() }}
```
Note that with this change, users who legitimately make a typo in their
code will no longer see an error. I think this is acceptable, since
false positive is worse than false negative. However, if users follow
the suggestion, add ? or ! to their code, then the error will be surfaced.
This seems a reasonable trade-off.
