* [tests] Preserve all test fixtures.
This fixes the wildly diffetent number of tests when running xammac tests with and without linking.
Without linking:
> Tests run: 2446 Passed: 2321 Inconclusive: 9 Failed: 0 Ignored: 125
vs with linking:
> Tests run: 1885 Passed: 1802 Inconclusive: 4 Failed: 0 Ignored: 83
Now we run the same tests either with or without linking.
One test was updated to not fail when linking is enabled.
Also add a test to ensure all future test fixtures are preserved.
* Remove whitespace noise.
* [runtime] Add an inner exception parameter to Runtime.CreateProductException.
This allows us to simplify code by using inner (and outer) exceptions as
a means to provide information instead of passing extra information
around in order to create decent exceptions.
One example is how we pass the selector and method name to the method
that converts from a native id to a managed NSObject instance: passing
this information is not necessary anymore if we can use two exceptions,
one for the failure to convert from an id to a NSObject instance,
wrapped in a second that tells which method/selector call ran into this
conversion problem.
* [runtime] Throw better exceptions when the dynamic registrar can't marshal something.
* [runtime] Throw a better exception when something goes wrong when trying to marshal a return value.
* [runtime] Use inner exceptions to convey failure information instead of trying to create a single exception with all we know.
* Fix merge problem.
* Convert it into a MM8027/MT8027 error (with documentation).
* Add information about the selector and managed method that triggered the error.
Now the problem reported in issue #4254 shows up as:
> ObjCRuntime.RuntimeException: Failed to marshal the Objective-C object 0x7f8080412810 (type: UIView). Could not find an existing managed instance for this object, nor was it possible to create a new managed instance (because the type 'UIKit.UIView&' does not have a constructor that takes one IntPtr argument).
> Additional information:
> Selector: popoverController:willRepositionPopoverToRect:inView:
> Method: UIKit.UIPopoverController+_UIPopoverControllerDelegate.WillReposition(UIKit.UIPopoverController, CoreGraphics.CGRect ByRef, UIKit.UIView ByRef)
instead of just:
> ObjCRuntime.RuntimeException: Failed to marshal the Objective-C object 0x7f8080412810 (type: UIView). Could not find an existing managed instance for this object, nor was it possible to create a new managed instance (because the type 'UIKit.UIView&' does not have a constructor that takes one IntPtr argument).
which makes it much easier to understand, track down, and fix/work around,
both for customers and ourselves.
* [tests] Build the native test library for macOS and create a binding project for it.
Also add the new binding project to the xammac and link all XM test projects,
which allows us to stop excluding tests that require the native library and
the corresponding bindings.
* [tests] Include more tests in xammac_tests.
* [tests] Correctly ignore the ObjC exception tests in release mode.
Use metadata tokens instead of strings to find types and methods.
This makes the code to find methods more compact (a lot less strings in the
executable, and additionally in most cases a compact representation (32-bit
integer) of the corresponding metadata token and additional information can be
used, which results in less executable code (fewer parameters to methods,
etc)), resulting in smaller executables.
Size savings are around 200kb for dont link apps, and 20-60kb for linked apps
(this obviously varies a lot depending on how much has to registered by the
registrar).

Additionally I've removed the `lazy_map` dictionary, which we populated at
startup and was used to map between Class instances and the corresponding
managed type's FullName, and instead iterate over a native array of Class ->
metadata token mappings whenever we need to look up the managed type for a
certain Class instance.
This is slightly slower for each type we need to look up (for a non-linked app
there might be a 2000-3000 entries in the native array, which would be
iterated instead of using a hashtable lookup), but it's only done once per
type and there's a significant startup memory improvement.
For a non-linked test app I get the following using the Xamarin profiler:

* [tests] Remove Classic SDK tests.
* Remove XI/Classic support.
This also means we can remove support for the legacy registrars.
* [monotouch-test] Remove legacy registrar tests.
* [tests/mtouch] Remove Classic tests (and legacy registrar logic).
* [tests/scripted] Fix tests to reference Xamarin.iOS.dll.

We did not fully support passing null to name and objectToObserve in
CFNotificationCenter::AddObserver an ArgumentNullException was thrown
The use case of sending null to both name and objectToObserve is to
observe all notifications posted to the notification center, this
won't work using darwing notification center, it is restricted
by apple.
