[generator] Remove interface alternatives w/ interface-constants (#600)

Context: #509

When using `generator --lang-features=interface-constants`, remove or
obsolete interface alternatives.

Due to our legacy workarounds for the C# shortcoming of not being able
to place constants or members on interfaces, every interface with
those members creates two additional "alternative" classes to provide
users access to the members originally on the interface.

For example, consider the Java interface [`android.os.Parcelable`][0]:

	// Java
	package android.os;
	public interface Parcelable {
	    public static final int CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR      = 1;
	    public static final int PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE = 1;

	    int describeContents();
	    void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags);

	    // ...
	}

The binding in a C#7 world is:

	// C# Binding
	namespace Android.OS {
	    public partial interface IParcelable {
	        int DescribeContents();
	        void WriteToParcel(Parcel dest, [GeneratedEnum] ParcelableWriteFlags flags);
	    }
	    public abstract partial class Parcelable {
	        internal Parcelable () {}

	        public const int ContentsFileDescriptor = (int) 1;
		public const ParcelableWriteFlags ParcelableWriteReturnValue = (ParcelableWriteFlags) 1;
	    }
	    [Obsolete ("…", error: true)]
	    public abstract partial class ParcelableConsts : Parcelable {
	        private ParcelableConsts () {}

	        public const int ContentsFileDescriptor = (int) 1;
		public const ParcelableWriteFlags ParcelableWriteReturnValue = (ParcelableWriteFlags) 1;
	    }
	}

`Parcelable` contains the interface constants which couldn't exist on
`IParcelable`, and `ParcelableConsts` exists for backward
compatibility (as we used `*Consts` types before we introduced the
non-`*Consts` types), and is `[Obsolete(error:true)]`.

In a C#8 world with `generator --lang-features=interface-constants`
we no longer need to preserve these alternative types.

The `*Consts` types have been `[Obsolete]` for over 5 years, but have
only been `[Obsolete(error:true)]` since d16-4, released 2019-Dec-03.
We feel it hasn't been an error long enough to remove it for *all*
API levels, so we will stop emitting it for API-R.

The `Parcelable` and similar alternative types are now redundant when
`--lang-features=interface-constants,default-interface-methods` is
used, as all members of the Java interface can now exist in the C#
binding of that interface.  Here, we will `[Obsolete]` the class and
all members of the class, with a message referring to the new types
and members to use.

This results in an API-R binding of:

	// C# Binding, API-R
	namespace Android.OS {
	    public partial interface IParcelable {
	        int DescribeContents();
	        void WriteToParcel(Parcel dest, [GeneratedEnum] ParcelableWriteFlags flags);

	        public const int ContentsFileDescriptor = (int) 1;
		public const ParcelableWriteFlags ParcelableWriteReturnValue = (ParcelableWriteFlags) 1;
	    }
	    [Obsolete ("Use 'Android.OS.IParcelable'.  This class will be removed in a future release.")]
	    public abstract partial class Parcelable {
	        internal Parcelable () {}

	        [Obsolete ("Use 'Android.OS.IParcelable.ContentsFileDescriptor'.  This class will be removed in a future release.")]
	        public const int ContentsFileDescriptor = (int) 1;

	        [Obsolete ("Use 'Android.OS.IParcelable.ParcelableWriteReturnValue'.  This class will be removed in a future release.")]
		public const ParcelableWriteFlags ParcelableWriteReturnValue = (ParcelableWriteFlags) 1;
	    }
	}

Additionally, fix a bug where fields that are marked `[Obsolete]` that
are being changed into property getters were not having the obsolete
attribute applied.
