[generator] generator --lang-features=emit-legacy-interface-invokers (#1145)

Fixes: #910

Context: bc5bcf4
Context: #858

Consider the Java `java.lang.Runnable` interface:

	package java.lang;
	public interface Runnable {
	    void run ();
	}

This is bound as:

	package Java.Lang;
	public interface IRunnable : IJavaPeerable {
	    void Run ();
	}

with some slight differences depending on whether we're dealing with
.NET Android (`generator --codegen-target=xajavainterop1`) or
`src/Java.Base` (`generator --codegen-target=javainterop1`).

Now, assume a Java API + corresponding binding which returns a
`Runnable` instance:

	package example;
	public class Whatever {
	    public static Runnable createRunnable();
	}

You can invoke `IRunnable.Run()` on the return value:

	IRunnable r = Whatever.CreateRunnable();
	r.Run();

but how does that work?

This works via an "interface Invoker", which is a class emitted by
`generator` which implements the interface and invokes the interface
methods through JNI:

	internal partial class IRunnableInvoker : Java.Lang.Object, IRunnable {
	    public void Run() => …
	}

Once Upon A Time™, the interface invoker implementation mirrored that
of classes: a static `IntPtr` field held the `jmethodID` value, which
would be looked up on first-use and cached for subsequent invocations:

	partial class IRunnableInvoker {
	    static IntPtr id_run;
	    public unsafe void Run() {
	        if (id_run == IntPtr.Zero)
	            id_run = JNIEnv.GetMethodID (class_ref, "run", "()V");
	        JNIEnv.CallVoidMethod (Handle, id_run, …);
	    }
	}

This approach works until you have interface inheritance and methods
which come from inherited interfaces:

	package android.view;
	public /* partial */ interface ViewManager {
	    void addView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params);
	}
	public /* partial */ interface WindowManager extends ViewManager {
	    void removeViewImmediate(View view);
	}

This would be bound as:

	namespace Android.Views;
	public partial interface IViewManager : IJavaPeerable {
	    void AddView (View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams @params);
	}
	public partial IWindowManager : IViewManager {
	    void RemoveViewImmediate (View view);
	}
	internal partial class IWindowManagerInvoker : Java.Lang.Object, IWindowManager {
	    static IntPtr id_addView;
	    public void AddView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams @params)
	    {
	        if (id_addView == IntPtr.Zero)
	            id_run = JNIEnv.GetMethodID (class_ref, "addView", "…");
	        JNIEnv.CallVoidMethod (Handle, id_addView, …);
	    }
	}

Unfortunately, *invoking* `IViewManager.AddView()` through an
`IWindowManagerInvoker` would crash!

	D/dalvikvm( 6645): GetMethodID: method not found: Landroid/view/WindowManager;.addView:(Landroid/view/View;Landroid/view/ViewGroup$LayoutParams;)V
	I/MonoDroid( 6645): UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Java.Lang.NoSuchMethodError: Exception of type 'Java.Lang.NoSuchMethodError' was thrown.
	I/MonoDroid( 6645): at Android.Runtime.JNIEnv.GetMethodID (intptr,string,string)
	I/MonoDroid( 6645): at Android.Views.IWindowManagerInvoker.AddView (Android.Views.View,Android.Views.ViewGroup/LayoutParams)
	I/MonoDroid( 6645): at Mono.Samples.Hello.HelloActivity.OnCreate (Android.OS.Bundle)
	I/MonoDroid( 6645): at Android.App.Activity.n_OnCreate_Landroid_os_Bundle_ (intptr,intptr,intptr)
	I/MonoDroid( 6645): at (wrapper dynamic-method) object.ecadbe0b-9124-445e-a498-f351075f6c89 (intptr,intptr,intptr)

Interfaces are not classes, and this is one of the places that this
is most apparent.  Because of this crash, we had to use *instance*
`jmethodID` caches:

	internal partial class IWindowManagerInvoker : Java.Lang.Object, IWindowManager {
	    IntPtr id_addView;
	    public void AddView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams @params)
	    {
	        if (id_addView == IntPtr.Zero)
	            id_run = JNIEnv.GetMethodID (class_ref, "addView", "…");
	        JNIEnv.CallVoidMethod (Handle, id_addView, …);
	    }
	}

Pro: no more crash!

Con: *every different instance* of `IWindowManagerInvoker` needs to
separately lookup whatever methods are invoked.  There is *some*
caching, so repeated calls to `AddView()` on the same instance will
hit the cache, but if you obtain a different `IWindowManager`
instance, `jmethodID` values will need to be looked up again.

This was "fine", until #858 enters the picture:
interface invokers were full of Android-isms --
`Android.Runtime.JNIEnv.GetMethodID()`! `JNIEnv.CallVoidMethod()`! --
and thus ***not*** APIs that @jonpryor wished to expose within
desktop Java.Base bindings.

Enter `generator --lang-features=emit-legacy-interface-invokers`:
when *not* specified, interface invokers will now use
`JniPeerMembers` for method lookup and invocation, allowing
`jmethodID` values to be cached *across* instances.  In order to
prevent the runtime crash, an interface may have *multiple*
`JniPeerMembers` values, one per implemented interface, which is used
to invoke methods from that interface.

`IWindowManagerInvoker` now becomes:

	internal partial class IWindowManagerInvoker : Java.Lang.Object, IWindowManager {
	    static readonly JniPeerMembers _members_android_view_ViewManager    = …;
	    static readonly JniPeerMembers _members_android_view_WindowManager  = …;

	    public void AddView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams @params)
	    {
	        const string __id = "addView.…";
	        _members_android_view_ViewManager.InstanceMethods.InvokeAbstractVoidMethod (__id, this, …);
	    }

	    public void RemoveViewImmediate(View view)
	    {
	        const string __id = "removeViewImmediate.…";
	        _members_android_view_WindowManager.InstanceMethods.InvokeAbstractVoidMethod (__id, this, …);
	    }
	}

This has two advantages:

 1. More caching!
 2. Desktop `Java.Base` binding can now have interface invokers.

Update `tests/generator-Tests` expected output.
Note: to keep this patch smaller, JavaInterop1 output uses the
new pattern, and only *some* XAJavaInterop1 tests use the new
pattern.

Added [CS0114][0] to `$(NoWarn)` in `Java.Base.csproj` to ignore
warnings such as:

	…/src/Java.Base/obj/Debug-net7.0/mcw/Java.Lang.ICharSequence.cs(195,25): warning CS0114:
	'ICharSequenceInvoker.ToString()' hides inherited member 'Object.ToString()'. To make the current member override that implementation, add the override keyword. Otherwise add the new keyword.

[Ignoring CS0114 is also done in `Mono.Android.dll` as well][1], so
this is not a new or unique requirement.

Update `Java.Interop.dll` so that
`JniRuntime.JniValueManager.GetActivationConstructor()` now knows
about and looks for `*Invoker` types, then uses the activation
constructor from the `*Invoker` type when the source type is an
abstract `class` or `interface`.

Update `tests/Java.Base-Tests` to test for implicit `*Invoker` lookup
and invocation support.


~~ Property Setters ~~

While testing on dotnet/android#8339, we hit this error
(among others, to be addressed later):

	src/Mono.Android/obj/Debug/net8.0/android-34/mcw/Android.Views.IWindowInsetsController.cs(304,41): error CS0103: The name 'behavior' does not exist in the current context

This was caused because of code such as:

	public partial interface IWindowInsetsController {
	    public unsafe int SystemBarsBehavior {
	        get {
	            const string __id = "getSystemBarsBehavior.()I";
	            try {
	                var __rm = _members_IWindowInsetsController.InstanceMethods.InvokeAbstractInt32Method (__id, this, null);
	                return __rm;
	            } finally {
	            }
	        }
	        set {
	            const string __id = "setSystemBarsBehavior.(I)V";
	            try {
	                JniArgumentValue* __args = stackalloc JniArgumentValue [1];
	                __args [0] = new JniArgumentValue (behavior);
	                _members_IWindowInsetsController.InstanceMethods.InvokeAbstractVoidMethod (__id, this, __args);
	            } finally {
	            }
	        }
	    }
	}

This happened because when emitting the property setter, we need
to update the `set*` method's parameter name to be `value` so that
the normal property setter body is emitted properly.

Update `InterfaceInvokerProperty.cs` so that the parameter name
is set to `value`.


~~ Performance ~~

What does this do for performance?

Add a new `InterfaceInvokerTiming` test fixture to
`Java.Interop-PerformanceTests.dll`, which:

 1. "Reimplements" the "legacy" and "JniPeerMembers" Invoker
    strategies
 2. For each Invoker strategy:
     a. Invokes a Java method which returns a `java.lang.Runnable`
        instance
     b. Invokes `Runnable.run()` on the instance returned by (2.a)
        …100 times.
     c. Repeat (2.a) and (2.b) 100 times.

The result is that using `JniPeerMembers` is *much* faster:

	% dotnet build tests/Java.Interop-PerformanceTests/*.csproj && \
		dotnet test --logger "console;verbosity=detailed"  bin/TestDebug-net7.0/Java.Interop-PerformanceTests.dll --filter "Name~InterfaceInvokerTiming"
	…
	 Passed InterfaceInvokers [1 s]
	 Standard Output Messages:
	## InterfaceInvokers Timing: instanceIds: 00:00:01.1095502
	## InterfaceInvokers Timing: peerMembers: 00:00:00.1400427

Using `JniPeerMembers` takes ~1/8th the time as using `jmethodID`s.

TODO: something is *probably* wrong with my test -- reviews welcome!
-- as when I increase the (2.b) iteration count, the `peerMembers`
time is largely unchanged (~0.14s), while the `instanceIds` time
increases linearly.

*Something* is wrong there.  I'm not sure what.  (Or *nothing* is
wrong, and instance `jmethodID` are just *that* bad.)
