This was a frequent source of confusion, since in all implementations
the data doesn't start at offset 0 in the buffer.

Adding an API reference for the supported languages.
General docs cleanup, including a new `tutorial` section that
supports all of the supported languages.
Added samples for each supported language to mirror the new
tutorial page.
Cleaned up all the links by making them `@ref` style links,
instead of referencing the names of the generated `.html` files.
Removed all generated files that were unnecessarily committed.
Also fixed the C# tests (two were failing due to a missing file).
Bug: b/25801305
Tested: Tested all samples on Ubuntu, Mac, and Android. Docs were
generated using doxygen and viewed on Chrome.

Removes the bounds checking on the ByteBuffer Get/Put operations. Can be dangerous when used with UNSAFE_BYTEBUFFER but results in increased performance. Use at your own risk!
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.
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.
