Change all null checking expressions to use 'is null' and 'is not null'
instead of '== null' and '!= null'.
This was mostly done with sed, so code can probably be improved in many
other ways with manual inspection, but that will come over time.
Also add code to the autoformat script to automatically fix these issues in the future.
This means:
* Move the parts of the ApplyPreserveAttribute step that we don't need for.NET
into a new MobileApplyPreserveAttribute step, and have mtouch and mmp use
that step instead of the ApplyPreserveAttribute step.
* Copy ApplyPreserveAttributeBase into dotnet-linker from the upstream tuner
source (with minor modifications) so that our ApplyPreserveAttribute step
compiles.
* Create a DotNetSubStepDispatcher class that we're going to use as our
substep dispatcher, create an instance of it and insert it into the list of
linker steps.
* Also a workaround for the lack of LinkContext.GetAssemblies (): add a step
that collects all the assemblies and stores them in a list, so that we can
have our own GetAssemblies implementation.
I filed a linker issue to see if we can get LinkContext.GetAssemblies ()
exposed to us: https://github.com/mono/linker/issues/1455.
Fixes this startup crash with the linkall test:
