Each side of the language barrier maintains a map of reference numbers
to objects. Each entry has a reference count that exactly matches
the number of active proxy objects on the other side. When a reference
crosses the barrier, the count is incremented and when a proxy finalizer
is run, the count is decremented. If the count reaches 0, the reference
number and its object are removed from the map.
There is a possibility that a reference number is passed to the other
side, and the last proxy is then immediately garbage collected and
finalized. The reference counter then reaches 0 before the other side has
converted the reference number to its object, crashing the program.
This is possible in both Go/Java/ObjC but is most likely to happen in
ObjC because its own automatic reference count runtime frees objects
as soon as they are statically never referenced again.
Fix the race by always incrementing the reference count before sending
a reference across the barrier. When converting the reference back into
an object on the other side, decrement the counter again.
Only the new ObjC test fails without this fix, but I left the Java
counterpart in for good measure.

ToRefNum only handles Go objects, but it can be passed foreign object
proxies as well. Add a check whether the object is a proxy, and if so,
simply return its refnum and don't track it.

Converting a Go string to a string suitable use a specialized function,
UTF16Encode, that can encode the string directly to a malloc'ed buffer. That
way, only two copies are made when strings are passed from Go to Java; once
for UTF-8 to UTF-16 encoding and once for the creation of the Java String.
This CL implements the same optimization in the other direction, with a
UTF-16 to UTF-8 decoder implemented in C. Unfortunately, while calling into a
Go decoder also saves the extra copy, the Cgo overhead makes the calls much
slower for short strings.
To alleviate the risk of introducing decoding bugs, I've added the tests from
the encoding/utf16 package to SeqTest.
As a sideeffect, both Java and ObjC now always copy strings, regardless of
the argument mode. The cpy argument can therefore be removed from the string
conversion functions. Furthermore, the modeRetained and modeReturned modes
can be collapsed into just one.
While we're here, delete a leftover function from seq/strings.go that
wasn't removed when the old seq buffers went away.

The seq serialization machinery is a historic artifact from when Go
mobile code had to run in a separate process. Now that Go code is running
in-process, replace the explicit serialization with direct calls and pass
arguments on the stack.
The benefits are a much smaller bind runtime, much less garbage (and, in
Java, fewer objects with finalizers), less argument copying, and faster
cross-language calls.
The cost is a more complex generator, because some of the work from the
bind runtime is moved to generated code. Generated code now handles
conversion between Go and Java/ObjC types, multiple return values and memory
management of byte slice and string arguments.
To overcome the lack of calling C code between Go packages, all bound
packages now end up in the same (fake) package, "gomobile_bind", instead of
separate packages (go_<pkgname>). To avoid name clashes, the package name is
added as a prefix to generated functions and types.
Also, don't copy byte arrays passed to Go, saving call time and
allowing read([]byte)-style interfaces to foreign callers (#12113).
Finally, add support for nil interfaces and struct pointers to objc.
This is a large CL, but most of the changes stem from changing testdata.
The full benchcmp output on the CL/20095 benchmarks on my Nexus 5 is
reproduced below. Note that the savings for the JavaSlice* benchmarks are
skewed because byte slices are no longer copied before passing them to Go.
