bda731cd8f Change naming convention for wrapped ctors and dtor
Use Foo_{new,delete}() instead of {new,delete}_Foo() to ensure that all
methods of the class Foo start with the corresponding prefix.

8e30abf7ab Don't use "this" method parameter for disambiguating overloads
When building the unique suffix for each member of the overloaded functions
set, don't use the first "this" parameter of the object methods in it as it's
the same for all of them and so is completely useless for disambiguation
purposes and just results in unnecessarily long and ugly names.

Use "_const" suffix for the methods differing by their const-ness only, this
is necessary now that we don't use "_pFoo" or "_pcFoo" in their names.

This makes it superfluous to check for c:objstruct in
functionWrapperAppendOverloaded() (and checking for it there was not enough
neither, as the changes in the test suite show, sometimes the "this" parameter
type still found its way into the generated wrappers).

4b5e5d0cc8 Allow to use the original name of the global functions
It is impossible to have two functions with the same name inside the same
program, but it is possible to provide a #define to allow the user code to use
the original function name for the wrapper function, so do it for convenience.

Remove the old changes adding explicit "_wrap_" prefix to the examples and the
tests and remove the few more now passing tests from the list of failing tests.

7bb7fe135a Let cpp_basic unit test pass without method pointers support
This was the only part of the test that didn't work, test at least the rest of
it.

3d6880aad1 Start removing proxy layer, just use the wrapped functions directly
The proxy layer, and all the extra complexity associated with it, seemed to be
only necessary in order to try to allow using the same name for the wrapped
global functions as were used for them in the original C or C++ code being
wrapped. However this could simply never work in all cases, notably it didn't
work at all when using ELF shared libraries under Unix as the functions with
the same name defined in the main program were interposed and replaced the
functions defined in the shared library, meaning that the proxy function foo()
called wrapper function _wrap_foo() which called back into proxy function
foo() itself again, resulting in guaranteed stack overflow. The only possible
way to fix this would be to use "protected" ELF visibility for the original
functions, but this is not always possible (e.g. if the sources of the
original library are not available) and not simple even when it is and,
besides, protected visibility has its own problems -- notably by making it
impossible to hook the library functions when you actually want to do it.
Besides, proxy-based approach simply couldn't work at all when using static
linking as it resulted in two copies of the function with the same name

Most importantly, however, the main task of this module is to wrap C++
classes, not C functions, and renaming them in the wrapper is not necessary at
all in this case as there is no conflict with the original names in this case.
So simply drop the idea of generating a separate proxy header and generate a
header declaring the functions declared in the wrapper instead and, also, do
not give them "_wrap_" prefix whenever possible, i.e. only do it for the
global functions.

This simplifies SWIG code itself and makes it simpler to use its output as
it's not necessary to link both with the wrapper (dynamically) and with the
proxy (statically) and it's not enough to link with the wrapper only and it
can be done in any way (i.e. either statically or dynamically).

As a side effect of this change, Swig_name_proxy() is not necessary any more
and was removed, eliminating the only difference with the master branch in any
source file other than c.cxx itself.

8e66df1b5a Implement test case for C++ features listed below
- pointers
- references
- values
- static variables
- default parameters
- function pointers (reason the test fails)
- global (static) variables (code commented out so far)
