Fix unreachable code warning for functions that return ! #265

The generated code for function bodies produces an unreachable_code warning if the function has a ! return type.

The offending bit is:

if let Some(__ret) == None::<!> {
  // unreachable
}

This PR fixes the warning by simply adding #[allow(unreachable_code)] to the return statement. It also adds a test for it.

This problem can only be triggered on nightly with the never_type feature enabled, but it is easy to fix here.
