Checks that the specified object reference is not {@code null} and throws a customized {@link IllegalArgumentException} if it is. <br>
Essentially this is very much the same as {@link Objects#requireNonNull(Object, String)} but throws an {@link IllegalArgumentException} as opposed to the
{@link NullPointerException} the SDK class throws.

@param <T>
The type of the object
@param obj
The object to be validated
@param message
detail message to be used in the event that a {@code IllegalArgumentException} is thrown
@return The provided object in case it was non-null
@throws IllegalArgumentException
If the provided object was <code>null</code>
