Support foreign implementations of trait interfaces (mozilla#1578)

Scaffolding:
* Generate a struct that implements the trait using a callback interface callback
* Make `try_lift` input a callback interface handle and create one of those structs.
* Don't use `try_lift` in the trait interface method scaffolding.
  `try_lift` expects to lift a callback handle, but scaffolding
  methods are called with a leaked object pointer.
* Removed the unused RustCallStatus param from the callback initialization function

Kotlin/Python/Swift:
* Factored out the callback interface impl and interface/protocol
  templates so it can also be used for trait interfaces.
* Changed the callback interface handle map code so that it doesn't
  try to re-use the handles. If an object is lowered twice, we now
  generate two different handles. This is required for trait
  interfaces, and I think it's also would be the right thing for
  callback interfaces if they could be passed back into the foreign
  language from Rust.
* Make `lower()` return a callback interface handle.
* Added some code to clarify how we generate the protocol and the
  implementation of that protocol for an object

Other:
* Trait interfaces are still not supported on Ruby.
* Updated the coverall bindings tests to test this.
* Updated the traits example, although there's definitely more room for improvement.

TODO:

I think a better handle solution (mozilla#1730) could help with a few things:

* We're currently wrapping the object every time it's passed across the
  FFI.  If the foreign code receives a trait object, then passes it back
  to Rust.  Rust now has a handle to the foreign impl and that foreign
  impl just calls back into Rust.  This can lead to some extremely
  inefficent FFI calls if an object is passed around enough.
* The way we're coercing between pointers, usize, and uint64 is
  probably wrong and at the very least extremely brittle.

There should be better tests for reference counts, but I'm waiting until
we address the handle issue to implement them.

+### Foreign implementations
+
+Traits can also be implemented on the foreign side passed into Rust, for example:
+
+```python
+class PyButton(uniffi_module.Button):
+    def name(self):
+        return "PyButton"
+
+uniffi_module.press(PyButton())
+```
+
+Note: This is currently supported on Python, Kotlin, and Swift.
 
 ### Traits construction
 
 Because any number of `struct`s may implement a trait, they don't have constructors.
