Add support for fixed-size array in Javascript

[stephanemagnenat]

Using git master on April 20, 2020 (cb4d0f72e38dfe2a15e39d8d449f7e6385300ca1) it seems fixed-size array is not supported in Javascript or Typescript. As the binary representation of the fixed-size array is equivalent of the unrolled version, I do not see any theoretical reason why there is no Javascript support, in the worst case with something like var0...varN naming. Indeed, in the use case where Flatbuffers is used to exchange data between Javascript and Rust/C++, it would be nice to be able to enjoy the fixed-size array on the Rust/C++ side.

Yup, there is no reason it can't be supported, other than that no-one has taken the time to do it. PRs welcome!

Yes, but no idea when.
