This is because they are incompatible with C++ and possibly other
languages that make them minimum size 1 (to make sure multiple
such objects don't reside at the same address). Forcing them to size
1 was also not practical, as that is requires updating the logic
of a lot of implementations and thus possibly backwards incompatible.

This is something the format supports, but none of the builders
were doing. Can save 10-20% on FlatBuffer binary size!
Also fixed the Go tests.

Tested: on Linux.
The ByteBufferFactory interface gives the user an option to specify
the method in which the internal ByteBuffer is allocated. This provides
flexibility in the type of ByteBuffer that can be used.
The sizedInputStream method is an alternative to sizedByteArray that
does not make a copy of the data in memory.
