~~ Debug Mode ~~

In some environments, `BundleTest.TestBundleIntegerArrayList2()` fails
when using the commercial shared runtime:

	Test 'Xamarin.Android.RuntimeTests.BundleTest.TestBundleIntegerArrayList2' failed: System.MemberAccessException : Cannot create an instance of Android.Runtime.JavaList`1[T] because Type.ContainsGenericParameters is true.

	  at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke (System.Object obj, System.Reflection.BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

The problem appears to be rooted in ce2bc68.  In a pre-ce2bc689 world,
there were two separate sets of "typemap" files that the application
could use:

  * Java-to-managed mappings, in `typemap.jm`
  * Managed-to-Java mappings, in `typemap.mj`.

These files did *not* need to have the same number of entries!

	% unzip /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.Android.framework/Versions/10.2.0.100/lib/xamarin.android/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Mono.Android.DebugRuntime-debug.apk typemap.jm
	% unzip /Library/Frameworks/Xamarin.Android.framework/Versions/10.2.0.100/lib/xamarin.android/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Mono.Android.DebugRuntime-debug.apk typemap.mj
	% strings typemap.jm | wc -l
	   10318
	% strings typemap.mj | wc -l
	   11956

The reason why they have a different number of entries is *aliasing*:
there can be *multiple* bindings for a given Java type.  The
managed-to-Java mappings can contain *all* of them; the
Java-to-managed mapping *must* pick Only One.

For example, [`java.util.ArrayList`][0] contains (at least?) *three*
bindings:

  * [`Android.Runtime.JavaList`][1]
  * [`Android.Runtime.JavaList<T>`][2]
  * `Java.Util.ArrayList` (generated at build time)

In a pre-ce2bc689 world, this was "fine": we'd binary search each file
*separately* to find type mappings.

This changed in ce2bc68, as the typemap information was merged into a
*single* array in order to de-duplicate information.  This reduced
`.apk` size.

An unanticipated result of this is that the Java-to-managed mappings
can now contain *duplicate* keys, "as if" the original `typemap.jm`
had the contents:

	java/util/ArrayList
	Android.Runtime.JavaList, Mono.Android
	java/util/ArrayList
	Android.Runtime.JavaList`1, Mono.Android
	java/util/ArrayList
	Java.Util.ArrayLlist, Mono.Android

Whereas pre-ce2bc689 there would have only been the first entry.

"Sometimes" this duplication is "fine": the typemap search
"Just happens" to return the first entry, or the 3rd entry, and apps
continue to work as intended.

"Sometimes" it isn't: the typemap binary search finds the 2nd entry,
which is a generic type.  This results in attempting to instantiate a
generic type *without appropriate type parameters*, which results in
the aforementioned `MemberAccessException`.

Update typemap generation code in `Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks.dll` so
that all the duplicate Java type names will point to the same managed
type name.  Additionally, make sure we select the managed type in the
same fashion the old typemap generator in `Java.Interop` worked: prefer
base types to the derived ones if the type is an interface or an
abstract class.  The effect of this change is that no matter which
entry `EmbeddedAssemblies::binary_search()` ends up selecting it will
always return the same managed type name for all aliased Java types.


~~ Release config apps ~~

Another issue introduced in ce2bc68 is that we no longer ignore
interface and generic types when generating the Java-to-managed maps.
This adversely affects the `Release` mode in which it is possible that
an attempt to instantiate an open generic type (or an interface) will
happen, leading to error similar to:

	FATAL EXCEPTION: main
	  Process: com.companyname.androidsingleviewapp1, PID: 24068

Update typemap generation code to also ignore generic types and
interfaces when generating the Java to Managed map in `Release` mode.
We must not simply skip outputting entries for such types because we
need to maintain element count parity between java-to-managed and
managed-to-java lookup tables.  Therefore, the way we skip such types
is to output a type token ID of `0` instead of the actual one.  This
will cause the runtime code to fail to find a mapping, thus allowing
the managed code to deal with such a type properly.


~~ Test Updates ~~

Update `BundleTest.TestBundleIntegerArrayList2()` so that it asserts
the runtime *type* of `obj` returned, asserting that it is in fact a
`JavaList` and not e.g. `Java.Util.ArrayList` or something.
(The linker could otherwise "change" things, and this assertion will
ensure that `JavaList` won't be linked away…)

Add a unit test for the Release config app bug in Issue #4660; thanks
to @brendanzagaeski.  It works by provoking the binary search bug by
"ensuring" that a *generic* type comes *before* the "normally
preferred" *non*-generic type.  Thus, even if/when binary search
returns the first entry, that would still be the *wrong entry*,
because that'll be a generic type!
