This is useful because many JSON generators will sort the fields,
cause X_type to follow X.

Also fixed most codegenerators using the wrong namespace when multiple
namespace were used in a file, with some files not being generated.

GetObject and GetMutableObject are similar to GetRoot and GetMutableRoot,
and can be useful when wanting to access data that has just been created.
Unfortunately there is a danger in using these methods, as it is possible
that the buffer reallocates which will invalidate the pointers.
CreateUninitializedVector was performing the following actions:
1. call StartVector.
2. call make_space, and set buf to point to the reserved space.
3. call EndVector.
The problem is that a call to EndVector can ultimately call make_space, which
if the buffer is full, will cause a reallocation, invalidating the value stored
in buf. So setting buf needs to be delayed until after EndVector.
The following code, when run under valgrind shows a write to free'd memory before
the change, but no such error after:
int main()
{
flatbuffers::FlatBufferBuilder fbb(128);
char *buf = nullptr;
fbb.CreateUninitializedVector(128, &buf);
*buf = 0;
}
This overflow could allow malformed FlatBuffers to pass the verifier.

To support the use case described in issue google/flatbuffers#3826, a new command line option --gen-name-strings
has been added, which will cause a static GetFullyQualifiedName function to be added
to the C++ output for tables/structs.
This is the first step in RPC support. Actual code generation
to follow.

Bug: 20122696
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.
