I updated idl_gen_general.cpp to add support for generating a Get Bytes
method for a vector to the generated C# source code. Given a byte vector
field named Foo, a method named GetFooBytes() will be generated in the
C# source code that will return an ArraySegment<byte> value referencing
the vector data in the underlying ByteBuffer.
I added a method to Table.cs named __vector_as_arraysegment that is used
by the code generated by the change to the C# generator.
__vector_as_arraysegment will take the offset of the vector and will
return the ArraySegment<byte> value corresponding to the bytes that
store the vector data.
I updated FlatBuffersExampleTests.cs to add tests to validate my
implementation of Table.__vector_as_arraysegment. I added tests to
demonstrate that the bytes for the monster's name can be extracted from
the underlying byte array. I also added tests to show that
Table.__vector_as_arraysegment returns a null value if the vector is not
present in the FlatBuffer.
I used the updated flatc.exe program to regenerate the C# source files
for the MyGame example. The new Monster class includes the GetXXXBytes
methods to return the byte arrays containing data for vectors.
Fixes a bug where the logic to determine when to use a C# enum flags
both enums and vectors of enums. This causes the C# generator to
generate code that doesn't compile for tables that contain vectors of
enums.
The fix also consolidates type generation functions a bit and adds
some additional casting functions for clarity.
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).
Issue: #77

(Java doesn't support unsigned types).
ubyte/ushort return as int
uint returns as long
(all with correct masking)
ulong still returns as long, as before.
Tested: on Linux & Windows.
Bug 17521464
Change-Id: Id6bc8f38fc8c1a2f4e6733c6980dc6b6e322b452
getRootAs..() function now has a second implementation that
accepts an existing object to allow object reuse, much like
all other methods that refer to objects.

Also fixed Go unit tests not being up to date with recent schema
changes.
