context: prevent creation of invalid contexts
This commit makes it impossible to create derived contexts with nil parents. Previously it was possible to create derived contexts with nil parents, and invalid contexts could propogate through the program. Eventually this can cause a panic downstream, which is difficult to trace back to the source of the error. Although `WithCancel` and `WithDeadline` already panic if `parent` is `nil`, this adds explicit checks to give a useful message in the panic.
