Improve friendliness of constructing/destructing C++ objects

It's somehow not mentioned above, but parameterless constructors are coming to C# 10 so that solves the main reason I hadn't actually done this yet. Julien Couvreur confirmed they should...

Provide helpers to get function pointers to C++ functions

The cumulative changes being made for https://github.com/InfectedLibraries/Biohazrd/issues/198 simplify our ability to do this since `EmitFunctionParameterList` is emitting the parameters for vtable function pointers.

Eliminate the use of MarshalAs for bools

Oddly enough, using `MarshalAs(I1)` for bools doesn't trigger `MarshalDirectiveException` even when marshaling is disabled. Not sure if that's intentional but I'd still like to eliminate it either way.

Eliminate the use of MarshalAs for bools

`MarshalAs` for return values and parameters has been eliminated as part of https://github.com/MochiLibraries/Biohazrd/issues/233 and https://github.com/MochiLibraries/Biohazrd/issues/236 While working on these, it dawned on me that emitting `MarshalAs(I1)` on fields may not...

Investigate extracting parameter names from comments

The newly added `AutoNameUnnamedParametersTransformation` makes this situation slightly less obnoxious. I do still want to investigate whether Clang automagically associates these comments with the parameter or not. (Maybe at the...

Add support for mixin transformations

Another place where this might be nice to have is the verification stage. `CSharpTranslationVerifier` is slowly becoming a mess of unrelated concerns, it might be nice to try and break...

Add keeping track of slot numbers for vtable entries and emit placeholders when they're removed

~~Instead of keeping track of slot numbers, let's change `TranslatedVTableEntry` to refer to the `TranslatedFunction` it corresponds to using https://github.com/InfectedLibraries/Biohazrd/issues/150 instead.~~ This issue is actually about something different than I...

Add keeping track of slot numbers for vtable entries and emit placeholders when they're removed

Note: This is *not* what `PathogenVTableEntry.Offset` provides. That's specifically only relevant for `VCallOffset`, `VBaseOffset`, and `OffsetToTop` entries.

Add keeping track of slot numbers for vtable entries and emit placeholders when they're removed

We can fudge this without it, but it'd be a good idea to do this at the same time as https://github.com/InfectedLibraries/Biohazrd/issues/49

Query Clang for the which vTable entry is the 0th entry

In the Itanium ABI, this entry is called the address point. The logic we use for determining the 0th entry lines up with the Itanium spec (0th entry is first...
