[BEAM-6277] KV#of parameters marked with @Nullable, even though nullability is encapsulated in type variables KeyT and ValueT

Description

On KV#getKey, there is the annotation @Nullable. That annotation is missing on KV#getValue, so I would assume that this means the value cannot be null. However, in KV#of, the parameter value is annotated with @Nullable and no further null checks are done.

I would assume that KV#getValue should also be marked with @Nullable, or that the annotation @Nullable on the parameter value in the constructor and in KV#of should be removed.
