In flatbuffers, build_defs.bzl has been updated to have the
bazel rule `flatbuffer_cc_library` defined. Therefore, it should
be possible to build another application and using `flatbuffer_cc_library`
directly (by `load("@com_github_google_flatbuffers//:build_defs.bzl", "flatbuffer_cc_library")`)
However, when I tried to do the above, I saw the following errors in bazel:
```
ERROR: /root/.cache/bazel/_bazel_root/c27e9809996ce9a9c0ed8dd79ef0897b/external/arrow/BUILD.bazel:12:1: in deps attribute of cc_library rule @arrow//:arrow_format: target '@arrow//:runtime_cc' does not exist. Since this rule was created by the macro 'flatbuffer_cc_library', the error might have been caused by the macro implementation in /root/.cache/bazel/_bazel_root/c27e9809996ce9a9c0ed8dd79ef0897b/external/com_github_google_flatbuffers/build_defs.bzl:216:16
```
The reason for the bazel error was that `//:runtime_cc` and `//:flatc` does not have
the repo name prefixed.
By prefix `` the above bazel build error could be resolved.
This fix should help other programs to use flatbuffers directly through bazel.

* Add flatbuffer_cc library support
* Update flags so all the tests pass
Tests now all pass!
* Modify the tests to use the generated code
This should be a simple serialize/deserialize test of the new generated
code to make sure the bazel rules are doing something sane.
* Use generated monster_test.fb in testing/test.cpp
cmake drops it's generated code in tests/monster_test_generated.h
Instead of checking that in, let's generate it with bazel.
* Make grpc tests depend on monster_test_generated.h
* Remove redundant cmake dependency
This should address @aardappel's feedback.
* Run flatc for Android as well
This will fix the last travis.ci failure
* Add generated output folder and fix flags
* Move flatbuffers_header_build_rules to the library that uses it
* Use --cpp-ptr-type to fix android
Android was the only target using the STL emulation layer. It needed
the --cpp-ptr-type flatbuffers::unique_ptr flag to work. Add it!
* Roll back changes to use autogenerated monster_test_generated.
Flip tests/test.cpp to use the autogenerated file as well.
