* [registrar] BindAs uses Nullable types so allow them to be registered as NSObjects
BindAsAttribute allows to bind NSValue and NSNumber into more
accurate C# types lyke bool?, int? etc. so we must teach registrar
about this.
* [tests][introspection] Teach intro about BindAs and Nullable types
Introspection will currently fail if BindAs is used, introspection
will report that the incorrect type is registered so we need to skip
this check if Nullable type is found in the signature
* [introspection] Add better type checking instead of totally skipping the type when Nullable type is encountered
Introspection will currently fail if BindAs is used. Introspection
will report that the incorrect type is registered so we need verify
if a Nullable type is found in the signature and check against of
a withelist of BindAs supported types
* Revert "[registrar] BindAs uses Nullable types so allow them to be registered as NSObjects"

Introspection Tests
Introspection tests are executed on target (both simulator and device for iOS) or a specific version of OSX. The application proceed to analyze itself using:
System.Reflection
for managed code; and- the ObjectiveC runtime library for native code
and compare the results. E.g. if using .NET reflection it can see a binding
for a NSBundle
type then it should be able to find a native NSBundle
type using the ObjC runtime functions. Otherwise an error is raised...
Since the application analyze itself it must contains everything we wish to test. That's why the introspection tests needs to be built with the managed linker disable, i.e. "Don't link".
Pros
- The tests always tell the truth, which can differ from documentation or header files;
Cons
- Incomplete - Not everything is encoded in the metadata / executable;
- Too complete - Not every truth is good to be known (or published), which requires creating special cases in the tests
