* [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.
monotouch-test has a wildcard to automatically include new test files, but
this should not include generated files, because:
* The generated files are generated when needed, which means we can't rely on
the wildcard to trigger their generation, because the wildcard won't find
them before they exist, and as such msbuild won't detect that they're
needed.
* This means the generated files must be listed separately, but in that case
they shouldn't be found by the wildcard too, because that leads to:
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/5.4.0/lib/mono/msbuild/15.0/bin/Roslyn/Microsoft.CSharp.Core.targets(84,5): error MSB3105: The item "ObjCRuntime/TrampolineTest.generated.cs" was specified more than once in the "Sources" parameter. Duplicate items are not supported by the "Sources" parameter.
So move the generated files to a different directory, so that the wildcard
doesn't find them.
This also requires implementing the corresponding matrix (NMatrix4x3).
Fixes this xtro issue:
> !unknown-simd-type-in-signature! OpenTK.Matrix3 AVFoundation.AVCameraCalibrationData::get_GetIntrinsicMatrix(): the native signature has a simd type (matrix_float3x3), while the corresponding managed method is using an incorrect (non-simd) type.
[registrar] Support 'out' parameters from NULL pointers. Fixes#54919.
Native code doesn't have the 'out' and 'ref' distinction C# has, and passes
NULL around left and right.
So make sure the generated code from the static registrar doesn't write to such NULLs.

The native linker treats object files (.o) and static libraries (.a files,
which are archives of .o files) differently.
The native linker will always include object files into the executable:
$ echo "void xxx () {}" > foo.m
$ clang -c foo.m -o foo.o -arch x86_64
$ ld foo.o -dylib -o foo.dylib -macosx_version_min 10.12 -arch x86_64
$ nm foo.dylib
0000000000000fe0 T _xxx
However, if the object file is inside a static library:
$ echo "void xxx () {}" > foo.m
$ clang -c foo.m -o foo.o -arch x86_64
$ ar cru foo.a foo.o
$ ld foo.a -dylib -o foo.dylib -macosx_version_min 10.12 -arch x86_64
$ nm foo.dylib
<no output>
This means that our testing library (libtest.a) which is a fat library of
_object files_, do not show the problems reported in bug #51548.
So:
a) I've fixed the creation of libtest.a to be a fat library of _static
libraries_. This causes the `FastDev_LinkWithTest` test to fail exactly
like in bug #51548.
b) I've made mtouch pass `-u <native symbol>` to the native linker, for every
native symbol referenced in a managed assembly, when creating a dylib.
Amazingly this seems to work fine even with symbols to Objective-C classes
(`_OBJC_CLASS_$_<class name>`).
c) This also required adding support for collecting the Objective-C names of
all managed types registered with Objective-C to the linker. The
information is already available in the static registrar, but that would
require us to make sure the static registrar is executed before compiling
dylibs, which means those two tasks won't be able to run in parallel (also
there's no guarantee we'll even run the static registrar).

* [tests] Fix framework-test to actually work.
* [xharness] Properly replace 'ios' with corresponding platform for paths to our test frameworks as well.
* [framework-test] Fix watchOS build.
Generate trampoline and registrar tests that tests if a return type requires objc_msgSend or objc_msgSend_stret.
Now it's much easier to test new return types (a single line of code), which
avoids a _lot_ of copy-pasting, and makes sure all the different variations
are tested properly.
These new tests found several bugs, which are fixed in subsequent commits.
Support binding NSObjects as IntPtr. This is usually not
a problem, because when we fetch the ObjC signature for a
method, we usually get the signature as exported by us,
(in which case a parameter bound as 'IntPtr' would be treated
as 'void *' in the dynamic registrar) *except* when the
selector corresponds with a protocol the type implements,
in which case we get the signature as defined in the protocol.
