When accessing a union field, we should return the same object type
as was given to the method, i.e. the parameter should have a generic
type for any Table-derived type. This way, we do not need to make
superfluous casts (which also reduce type safety) like
var myUnionType = (MyUnionType)buff.GetUnionField(new MyUnionType());
when we can do just
var myUnionType = buff.GetUnionField(new MyUnionType());

In C#, plain field accessors should not be nonparametric methods
but should be standard property getters.
The accessor methods with parameters were renamed to `GetXxx`
because a method cannot be named identically to a property.
Also, `ByteBuffer.Position`, `FlatBufferBuilder.Offset` and
`FlatBufferBuilder.DataBuffer` are now properties instead
of nonparametric accessor methods, for more idiomatic C# style.
This is a breaking change, all client C# code accessing these
fields needs to be changed (i.e. remove those `()` or add the
`Get` prefix).

BitConverter was excessively slow since it allocates a byte array
at each access.

Tested: on Windows.
If your C# runtime environment supports unsafe mode, you can use
the #define UNSAFE_BYTEBUFFER setting and build the FlatBuffers assembly
in unsafe mode for greatly increased performance.
Tested: Tested FlatBuffersTest on Windows using VS2010 with both safe
and unsafe versions. Added ByteBufferTest to test the byte reversing
functions.

Also made the C# implementation support unsigned types, and
made it more like the Java version.
