Feature/add typename method

[pablogm]

Summary

This pull request adds a new feature to the FlatBuffers compiler (flatc) to generate a TypeName() method in each C++ table and struct. This method returns the fully qualified type name (including namespace) as a string.

Changes Introduced

• Introduced a new utility function, MakeFullyQualifiedName, to construct fully qualified names using namespaces and type names.
• Updated the GenTable method in idl_gen_cpp.cpp to include a TypeName() method in generated C++ classes when a custom flag is enabled.
• Added a new flag (--gen-type-names) to flatc to optionally generate the TypeName() method.

Motivation

The TypeName() method allows developers to access the fully qualified name of a table or struct at runtime, similarly to what Protobuf offers with T::descriptor()->full_name().

Usage

With the --gen-type-names flag, generated C++ code will include a TypeName() method
