Vitor Sousa 4496022a3c csharp: fix Eina_Stringshare support in containers for manual and generated API
Summary:
Both C strings and eina stringshares are bound as regular strings in EFL#, as
working directly with these types would demand unnecessary hassle from the user
viewpoint.
But for eina containers this distinction is important, and since C# generics
do not provide a convenient way of dealing with the same type requiring a
different management based on some other condition (at least not without
compromising the usability for other types), we added a simple `System.String`
wrapper named `Eina.Stringshare` that works as a placeholder for signaling
this distinction.

Working with this class should be transparent in most use cases because it
converts to and from `System.String` implicitly.
It also implements equality/inequality methods for easier comparison with
strings and other stringshare objects.

Add new methods and a new container element trait for dealing specifically
with `Eina_Stringshare` elements.

Adapt eolian_mono to identify and generate the proper placeholder in methods
that require stringshare containers.

Remove some direct uses of DllImport-ed functions in favor of more flexible
manual binding methods.

Move `Eina.Stringshare` DllImport directives to a static class named
`NativeMethods`, in accordance with the code design warning CA1060.
Also add a TODO comment to move all other DllImport directives to this class.

Change parameter of the method `Efl.Csharp.Application.OnInitialize` from
`Eina.Array<System.String>` to `string[]`.
This will make this API more similar with the default C# way of receiving
command line arguments.

Add tests for containers storing stringshare elements.
