This just in branch "benchmarks" because of submodule dependencies
and unpolished code. Read benchmarks/README.txt for details.

Fixed conflicts and added missing generated files.

This is implemented as a template function, since Table::CheckField
is not reachable by subclasses of Table (private base class).

This to allow the code to run on a greater range of build
configurations (that don't allow exceptions/RTTI).

If anyone ever doubts the usefulness of exception handling,
please show them this commit.

C# - Performance optimizations

Add Get Bytes Method Generator for C#

Extend C# ByteBuffer Put method fix to unsafe methods

Update C# FlatBufferBuilder to reuse vtable array

Fixes issue #243.  Extends the initial C# ByteBuffer fix
(e4c3bf3d) to Put methods
used when UNSAFE_BYTEBUFFER is defined.

This commit updates the FlatBufferBuilder class to reuse the vtable
array instead of creating a new array with every StartObject() call.

Fix to #360 - Fully qualified names outside of current NS

Correct the max/min signed/unsigned 32-bit int

It's slightly faster to convert the value to signed value in PHP as
opposed to use pack and unpack.

For 1M get operation the difference is:

    getShort in 3.3272678852081 seconds
    getInt in 3.8338589668274 seconds
    getLong in 5.6381590366364 seconds
    getLong (neg) in 5.6149101257324 seconds

vs

    getShort in 2.7564418315887 seconds
    getInt in 3.1612701416016 seconds
    getLong in 3.1369340419769 seconds
    getLong (neg) in 3.1478710174561 seconds

And since pack("P") and unpack("q") has been removed now ByteBuffer
works for PHP >= 5.4

The test was trying to pack an unsigned int which couldn't fit as a
signed int and putInt() wasn't doing the validation in the correct range

Fix to #360 - Updated the general generator (Java/C#) to emit fully qualified names where the referenced object isn't directly in this namespace. Added test fbs files to verify compilation.

I updated idl_gen_general.cpp to add support for generating a Get Bytes
method for a vector to the generated C# source code. Given a byte vector
field named Foo, a method named GetFooBytes() will be generated in the
C# source code that will return an ArraySegment<byte> value referencing
the vector data in the underlying ByteBuffer.

I added a method to Table.cs named __vector_as_arraysegment that is used
by the code generated by the change to the C# generator.
__vector_as_arraysegment will take the offset of the vector and will
return the ArraySegment<byte> value corresponding to the bytes that
store the vector data.

I updated FlatBuffersExampleTests.cs to add tests to validate my
implementation of Table.__vector_as_arraysegment. I added tests to
demonstrate that the bytes for the monster's name can be extracted from
the underlying byte array. I also added tests to show that
Table.__vector_as_arraysegment returns a null value if the vector is not
present in the FlatBuffer.

I used the updated flatc.exe program to regenerate the C# source files
for the MyGame example. The new Monster class includes the GetXXXBytes
methods to return the byte arrays containing data for vectors.

Mac build issued a warning for enum{}.

Tested: Mac build no longer issues warnings.

Also refactored the way options are stored.
