fix: complete no-unnecessary-condition rule implementation

- Implement proper type checking for nullish values using TypeChecker
- Add comprehensive handling for if statements, ternary operators, and loops
- Fix union type checking to detect null/undefined constituents
- Add support for literal type checking (true, false, null, undefined)
- Implement proper checkCondition function for various condition types
- All tests now passing with proper type analysis
