Gobind uses strings for passing errors across the language barrier.
However, since Gobind doesn't have a concept of a nil string, it
can't separate an empty native string from a nil string.
In turn, that means that empty errors, exceptions or NSError * with
an empty description are treated as no error. With ObjC, empty errors
are replaced with a default string to workaround the issue, while
with Java empty errors are silently ignored.
Fix this by replacing strings with actual error objects, wrapping
the Go error, Java Throwable or ObjC NSError *, and letting the
existing bind machinery take care of passing the references across.
It's a large change for a small corner case, but I believe objects
are a better fit for exception that strings. Error objects also
naturally leads to future additions, for example accessing the
exception class name or chained exception.

Currently there is a Go test package for each platform, iOS and
Android. This CL merges them into a single, shared package. Apart
from the reduced code duplication, the merger stops the tests
diverging further. Most importantly, one shared package clarifies
that the intent of gobind is that the same Go package can be
reused across platforms.
This CL only merges the obvious test duplicates. The rest have been
copied from the ObjC package into the Android test under different
names.
While we're here, demote the long string test to the basictypes
bind test; the test never had a runtime part.

Before this change, func Hello() of mypkg package generated a function
GoMypkg_Hello to distinguish the prefix from the function name.
It seems the use of '_' is very rare in Objective-C though.
After this change, it generates GoMypkgHello.
