Summary:
As discussed in T7204:
- Eo Interfaces/mixins -> C# Interfaces with concrete class
implementations
- Eo Regular/Abstracts -> Proper C# classes
- Added some new generators and helper methods.
- Refactored the class generator, splitting into helper methods
Eo handles now are stored only in the "root" class in any given
inheritance tree (generally, Efl.Object), and accessible to each child.
Methods also are defined in a single place instead of repeatedly
generated in everyfile, reducing the size of the generated .dll from
30MB to around 4.5MB.
Mixins are generated as C# interfaces but any regular class it inherits
from is lost, as we can't have interfaces inheriting from regular
classes. This will be dealt with in a later commit.
Summary of API Changes:
- Merged Inherit/Concrete classes. (These suffixes disappear from
regular classes).
- Interface still have implementations with 'Concrete' suffix for when
they are returned from methods.
- Removed 'I' from interface names.
- Removed interfaces for regular/abstract Eo classes.
- Concrete classes for interfaces/mixins hold the event argument struct.
- Removed '_' from classes, enums, structs, etc, as indicated in C#
naming conventions.
- Namespaces are now Camel.Cased.
- Renamed IWrapper's raw_handle/raw_klass to NativeHandle/NativeClass
Also renamed the test classes as after the namespace change, the
test namespace Test can conflict with the helper Test namespace.
(And use more meaningful names than Test.Testing...)
Also Fixes T7336 by removing a deprecated example and adding
efl_loop_timer_example to build system.
Fixes T7451 by hiding the class_get DllImports and renaming the IWrapper
fields. The native handlers are used in the manual binding.
Still need to work:
- As there are still some events names clashing (e.g. Efl.Ui.Bg with "resize"
from Efl.Gfx.Entity and Efl.Gfx.Image), Events are currently declared on
the interface and implemented "namespaced" in the classes,
requiring the cast to the interface to access the event.
- The Mixin Conundrum. Mixin inheritance will be dealt in a future
commit.

Summary:
Uses a common helper to open and close namespaces, to get the managed
and unmanaged name of things, the interface, concrete and inherit class
names, etc.
eolian_cxx: Add namespace information to func_def, as it'll avoid
eolian-cxx clients dealing with the eolian C api directly when trying
to access a function pointer namespace.

Summary:
Making it easier to share code between self and inherited events.
During this move, the namespace and keyword headers were merged into the
name_helpers header.
Also added the first seed of a generic namespace reducer function,
to be used by other functions in later commits.

In general, ptr(struct) parameters behavior depends whether the
parameter has the @owned modifier or not.
If there is no @owned parameter (meaning no transfer of ownership
happens) and it is a "complex" struct, with reference type fields
(like strings), the struct is converted to the respective
<Struct>Internal struct and passed with "ref" to the DllImport'd
function. For @in parameters, after the function it returns, this
intermediate struct is converted to the public struct type and
assigned to the original parameter, updating it to the external
world.
When we have ownership transfers, the structure is copied to unmanaged
memory and given to the callee. We can't send managed memory directly as
the callee may try to free it. On the managed side, the original struct
is left to be garbage collected normally.
Fix several integer binding type deduction based in its size on C.
Generation for function pointers no longer use modified argument name
which is different from the parameter name.
New generation context for structs.
bool from UnmanagedType.I1 to UnmanagedType.U1 (correct use
inside structs according to mono documentation).
byte (signed char) and int8 now is correctly represented by
sbyte in C#.
Check parameter direction in some out generators in parameter.hh.
Add efl_libs.csv to gitignore.
Make eina.Value pointer constructor public.
Add missing fields to efl.kw_event.Description struct.
Remove eina.File workaround (let struct gen handle it).
Remove is_function_ptr bool from regular_type_def and
add a typedecl_type enum to it. Also add some helper
methods for easier comparison.
Left some test cases commented for when pointer parameters
are properly working.
