Removed redundant null checks and comparisons in multiple files as identified by SpotBugs. - Socket.java: Removed check for connection != null. - GroupLayout.java: Removed check for name != null. - Form.java: Removed checks for focused != null and atXY != null. - Resources.java: Removed checks for mediaRules != null. - Component.java: Removed check for cmp != null. - Command.java: Removed check for obj != null. - ComponentSelector.java: Removed check for mgr != null. - PropertyIndex.java: Removed check for p != null. - Container.java: Removed check for next != null. - Display.java: Removed check for dest != null. - CommonTransitions.java: Removed checks for sourceForm != null and dest != null. - ResourceThreadQueue.java: Removed check for img == null. - Other minor cleanup.
- Remove redundant null checks in multiple files (Socket.java, Form.java, Component.java, etc.) where values are guaranteed to be non-null or null. - Update `generate-quality-report.py` to enforce zero tolerance for `RCN_REDUNDANT_NULLCHECK_OF_NONNULL_VALUE` and `RCN_REDUNDANT_NULLCHECK_OF_NULL_VALUE` warnings. - Fix compilation issues in Socket.java syntax. - Verify that the build passes with the new quality gate.
- Update generate-quality-report.py to fail build on RCN_REDUNDANT_NULLCHECK violations. - Remove redundant null checks in multiple files (Objects.java, Component.java, Form.java, etc.). - Revert unsafe null check removal in Socket.java that caused test failures. - Add suppression for Socket.java in spotbugs-exclude.xml. - Cleanup dead code in DefaultLookAndFeel.java and Inflate.java.

Pull request overview
This PR removes redundant null checks across the codebase that were flagged by SpotBugs analysis. The changes simplify code by eliminating unnecessary null validations where the referenced variables are guaranteed to be non-null by surrounding logic or framework guarantees. The PR also adds quality gate enforcement to prevent future redundant null check violations.
- Removed redundant null checks in UI components, layouts, utilities, and I/O classes
- Simplified conditional logic by eliminating unnecessary nested null guards
- Added SpotBugs quality gate enforcement to prevent regression

CodenameOne/src/com/codename1/ui/table/Table.java:1
- The redundant null check for 'cell' was removed, but 'cell' is still used on lines 245 and 247 without validation. The removed null check suggests createCellImpl can return null, so these usages may now cause NullPointerException.
CodenameOne/src/com/codename1/ui/table/Table.java:1 - The null check for 'cmp' was removed, but 'cmp' is subsequently used in sorting logic (not visible in this diff). If createColumnSortComparator can return null, removing this guard will cause NullPointerException.

The redundant null check 'cmp != null' was removed, but cmp.isOwnedBy(this) is now called without null validation. If getComponentAt returns null, this will throw NullPointerException.

The null checks for 'img' were removed, but 'img' is used after line 462 in the callSerially callback. If Image.createImage returns null, this will cause NullPointerException when the image is accessed.

The null check and fallback logic for 'isr' were removed, but 'isr' is assigned to 'isReader' and likely used in the thread. If getStream returns null, this will cause NullPointerException when isReader is accessed.
