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.

FlatBuffers Version 1.2.0
# Welcome to FlatBuffers!
## Build Status
- Travis: [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/google/flatbuffers.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/google/flatbuffers)
----
FlatBuffers is a serialization library for games and other memory constrained
apps. Go to our [landing page][] to browse our documentation.
FlatBuffers allows you to directly access serialized data without
unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards
compatibility. FlatBuffers can be built for many different systems (Android,
Windows, OS X, Linux), see `docs/html/index.html`
Discuss FlatBuffers with other developers and users on the
[FlatBuffers Google Group][]. File issues on the [FlatBuffers Issues Tracker][]
or post your questions to [stackoverflow.com][] using the [`flatbuffers` tag][].
To contribute to this project, see [CONTRIBUTING][].
For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked.
This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string
(flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from
consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect
your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers
is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open
source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if
you would leave it in.
