Allow tables to be mapped to native types directly.  For example, a table
representing a vector3 (eg. table Vec3 { x:float; y:float; z:float; }) can
be mapped to a "mathfu::vec3" native type in NativeTables.  This requires
users to provide Pack and UnPack functions that convert between the
Table and native types.  This is done by adding the "native_type" attribute
to the table definition.

To support user-defined flatbuffers::Pack and flatbuffers::UnPack functions,
support a "native_include" markup that will generate a corresponding

Also add an UnPackTo function which allows users to pass in a pointer to
a NativeTable object into which to UnPack the Table.  The existing UnPack
function is now simply:

  NativeTable* UnPack() {
    NativeTable* obj = new NativeTable();
    Table::UnPackTo(obj);
    return obj;
  }

Finally, allow native types to be given a default value as well which are
set in the NativeTable constructor.  This is done by providing a
"native_default" attribute to the member of a table.

This would happen if they were supplied in an order that does not match
the schema relative to other fields. It now supports any ordering.

Tested: on Linux.

The conditions to add the "NONE" or "ANY" value in the enum were useless
because the user cannot provide a zero value or a bitmask (for "ANY") in
the bit_flags enum type.

Helps simplify code generation code.  Instead of this:
  code += "inline const " + cpp_qualified_name + " *Get";
  code += name;
  code += "(const void *buf) {\n  return flatbuffers::GetRoot<";
  code += cpp_qualified_name + ">(buf);\n}\n\n";

You do this:
  code.SetValue("NAME", struct_def.name);
  code.SetValue("CPP_NAME", cpp_qualified_name);
  code += "inline const {{CPP_NAME}} *Get{{NAME}}(const void *buf) {";
  code += "  return flatbuffers::GetRoot<{{CPP_NAME}}>(buf);";
  code += "}";
  code += "";

Updated the CPP code generator to use the CodeWriter class.  Most of the
changes in the generated code are white-space changes, esp. around new
lines (since the code generator class automatically appends new lines
when appending a string).  Actual code changes include:

* Renamed "rehasher" to "_rehasher" for consistency with other args in
  Pack function.

* Renamed "union_obj" to "obj: in UnPack function.

* Always do "(void)_o;" to prevent unused variable warning in Create
  function (instead of only doing it if there are no fields) in order
  to avoid two-passes.

* Renamed padding variables from __paddingX to paddingX__.
  "Each name that contains a double underscore (_ _) [...] is reserved
   to the implementation for any use."  C++ standards 17.4.3.1.2.

* Add braces around switch cases.

* Calculate index as a separate statement in EnumName function, eg.
    const size_t index = ...;
    return EnumNamesX()[index];
  vs.
    return EnumNamesX()[...];

* Stored end table offset in variable in Finish() functions, eg.
    const auto end = fbb_.EndTable(start_, ...);
    auto o = flatbuffers::Offset<T>(end);
  vs.
    auto o = flatbuffers::Offset<T>(fbb_.EndTable(start, ...));

* Separate reinterpret_cast calls from function calls in Union
  functions, eg.
    auto ptr = reinterpret_cast<const T *>(obj);
    return ptr->UnPack(resolver);
  vs.
    return reinterpret_cast<const T *>(obj)->UnPack(resolver);

* Removed unecessary (void)(padding__X) no-ops from constructors, eg.
    Test(int16_t a, int8_t b) : ... {
      (void)__padding0;  // <-- Removed this line.
    }

In the idl_gen_cpp.cpp file itself, I refactored some code generation into
new functions: GenParam, GenNativeTable, GenVerifyCall, GenBuilders,
GenUnpackFieldStatement, and GenCreateParam.

Change makes make_space() code much friendlier for the compiler to inline which makes significant (measurable) performance improvements.

- Update to be const-correct where possible.
- Consistently pass |code| as pointer instead of non-const-ref.
- No newlines (\n) characters in the middle of code strings.
- Use if-else if-else statements instead of nested ternary operators.
- Ensure all lines end at 80 chars.
- Make utility functions static.

3a1f7761 added a required identifier parameter
to Verifier::VerifyBuffer but did not update the templated call site in
BufferRef. This causes errors like the following when trying to instantiate the
call site by calling BufferRef::Verify():

This commit fixes the BufferRef call site by adding a nullptr argument.

* Added helper methods to access struct through reflection. Also added unit test for it.

* Added a TODO comment to check for the is_struct flag.

Unions own the NativeTable* value member because they need to destroy them
when the Union goes out of scope.  Currently, the data is destroyed by calling
delete, which means that the member needs to be allocated with new.  However,
making the allocation the responsibility of the client and the destruction
the responsibility of the Union can lead to potential errors.  Adding a
Set function will ensure that the memory is allocated correctly so that it
can be deleted later.

* Incorporated the code review changes that were requested:

1. Changed the Verify function signature.
2. Changed the variable names to use snake_case.
3. Added better comments.
4. Refactored duplicate code.
5. Changed the verifier class so that it has the same size when compiled with or without FLATBUFFERS_TRACK_VERIFIER_BUFFER_SIZE macro.

* Setting FLATBUFFERS_TRACK_VERIFIER_BUFFER_SIZE and FLATBUFFERS_DEBUG_VERIFICATION_FAILURE through cmake for flattests so that it gets propagted to all translation units of flattests.

* Making the Verifier struct fields the same in all cases. Also reverting the target_compile_definitions change in cmake file because build machine on travis does not have cmake version 3.0 or higher which was the version when target_compile_definitions was added in cmake.

* Defining macros through cmake in a portable way using functions that are available in cmake 2.8.

* random access iterator for vector added

* Style changes
