Mark Klara 69a31b807a Revamping the FlatBuffers docs.
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.

Platform / Language / Feature support {#flatbuffers_support}
=====================================
FlatBuffers is actively being worked on, which means that certain platform /
language / feature combinations may not be available yet.
This page tries to track those issues, to make informed decisions easier.
In general:
* Languages: language support beyond the ones created by the original
FlatBuffer authors typically depends on community contributions.
* Features: C++ was the first language supported, since our original
target was high performance game development. It thus has the richest
feature set, and is likely most robust. Other languages are catching up
however.
* Platforms: All language implementations are typically portable to most
platforms, unless where noted otherwise.
NOTE: this table is a start, it needs to be extended.
