When passing a byte array from Java to Go, Seq.writeByteArray JNI
call encodes only the array size and the pointer to the array.
Go-side receives the (size, ptr) pair info during the subsequent
Seq.send JNI call, and copies the elements into a Go byte slice.
We must pin the array elements until Go-side completes copying
so that they are not moved or collected by Java runtime.
This change keeps track of the pinned array info in a 'pinned' linked
list, and unpin them as the Seq memory is freed. The jbyteArray
argument passed to Seq.writeByteArray is needed to release the pinned
byte array elements, but that is a "local reference". It is not
guaranteed that the reference is valid after the method returns. Thus,
we stash its global reference in the 'pinned' list and delete it later
as well.
A similar problem can occur on the byte slice returned from a Go function.
This change does not address the case yet.
