Language Code Generators for UNOIDL Entities

Generators for language-binding--specific representations of UNOIDL entities:

• cppumaker generates header (.hdl and .hpp) files for the C++ UNO language binding
• javamaker generates class files for the JVM language binding
• netmaker generates C# code files for the .NET language binding
• climaker (the old codemaker for .NET Framework) is in module cli_ure
• pythonmaker generates Python stub (pyi) files for the Python UNO language binding

Some of the code is re-used by the skeletonmakers in module unodevtools.

Note the different terminology used by cppumaker vs. gbuild for the three variants that can be generated by cppumaker for some of the inline functions:

cppumaker switch: -L;    cpputype.cxx: light;          gbuild: normal;
cppumaker switch: none;  cpputype.cxx: normal;         gbuild: bootstrap;
cppumaker switch: -C;    cpputype.cxx: comprehensive;  gbuild: comprehensive;

which can be a source of confusion.
