Most languages now use "NullReferenceError" in the error message
where they previously used "ValueError". Also exception changes:
Guile: "swig-null-reference-error" instead of "swig-value-error"
MzScheme: "swig-null-reference-error" instead of "swig-value-error"
PHP: zend_ce_type_error instead of zend_ce_value_error
Python: Consistently raises TypeError instead of a mix of ValueError
and TypeError.
Ruby: Consistently raises NullReferenceError instead of a mix of
ArgumentError and NullReferenceErrorError.
The consistent raising of a TypeError instead of ValueError for Python
ensures that incorrectly passing 'None' into a C++ reference argument
will correctly convert the error into a NotImplemented error for
the rich comparisons implementations per PEP 207. Fixes#2987
Note that the li_constraints checking implementation for the NONNULL
typemap for pointers also makes the same error change from
SWIG_ValueError to SWIG_NullReferenceError.
The D typemaps use SWIG_DNullReferenceException instead of
SWIG_DIllegalArgumentException, although this ultimately has no change
as the same D Exception is still thrown.
* char_binary_java_fix-tidyup:
Move SWIGStringWithLengthHelper to csharphead.swg
cdata whitespace/cosmetic fixups
cdata doc updates
Rename `typemaps/cdata_struct.swg` to `typemaps/cdata_begin.swg`. And `typemaps/cdata.swg` to `typemaps/cdata.swg`. Move `cdata_apply.swg` content to `typemaps/cdata.swg`.
Group the C# marshalling of STRING-LENGTH typemap into C# class named SWIGStringWithLengthHelper.
Leave Length & string reverse order typemap in typemaps/strings.swg
Support old C# as "LPUTF8Str" was add in 2017.
Improve documentation. Follow @wsfulton reviews.
Use a dummy for MzScheme and untested OCaml cdate. To prevent compilation error.
Further fixing follow reviews.
Reorganise raw data typemap, so typemaps folder contain only common part. Improve document.
Inline SWIG_string_to_utf8_bytes SWIG_utf8_bytes_to_string code
Fixes of STRING/BYTES LENGTH typemaps.

For Javascript, MzScheme, Python, Ruby.
Removes the vast majority of the /*@SWIG:...*/ locator strings in the
generated wrappers for these 4 languages to help with reproducible builds.
Issue #202
These have done nothing except emit a warning saying they are no
longer required for a long time.
One exception is guile and mzscheme still define non-trivial
specialize_std_map_on_* - it seems they were missed for some
reason, but the same improved machinery which meant these macros
are no longer required for other target languages should apply
to them too.
