Disable parsing of nested_flatbuffers as bytes by default

Browse Source 
Parsing as bytes produces buffers that are unsafe to access unless passed thru a verifier,
whereas users could reasonably assume that any JSON parsed without errors is safe to access.
Users that still have legacy JSON files with such bytes in it will get a helpful error point them
to the option to turn on to have it work again.

- `--cs-global-alias` : Prepend `global::` to all user generated csharp classes and structs.
- `--json-nested-bytes` : Allow a nested_flatbuffer field to be parsed as a
vector of bytes in JSON, which is unsafe unless checked by a verifier
afterwards.

whenever possible.
