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.

This does not change the tool's behavior.
The global ndkConfig 'ndk' holds info on all supported architectures
with the latest Go and gomobile tools (tip), and provides Root and
Toolchain methods that returns the current NDK installation directory
and the toolchain info depending on the GOPATH and the current go
version.
The global androidEnv is a map from arch name to the env vars.
ndkccpath is replaced by ndk.Root.

Also updates bind test.
'gomobile bind' currently runs 'go install' first and generates code
from the compiled object. This makes the -i option unnecessary.
Updated the bind command doc not to mention the -i option.
The use of -i option from Android Studio GoBind plugin will be removed
in a separate CL.

This breaks our dependency on the x/tools repository, which has a
tendency to change in unexpected ways. It also means we can use the
version of go/types that ships with Go 1.5.
Along the way, it appears that cgo processing has changed slightly.
The old check for cgo files apparently wasn't working, so I removed
it.
