GlueGen JavaCallback: Revised: Static Java callback dispatcher, dropping native heap, support Struct UserParam ...
Implementation now generates a static Java callback dispatcher for each defined SetCallbackFunction, which gets invoked by the generated native static counterpart with all arguments required. The static callback utilizes its own synchronization for thread-safety and fetches the required data set stored at SetCallbackFunction to dispatch the call to the users' CallbackFunction. In case the callback has been removed already, the static callback simply bails out quietly. The native code does not create, release or manage heap memory and therefore is considered safe. +++ Further Struct Type UserParam are now supported including Heterogeneous UserParam mapping (read GlueGen_Mapping.*). +++ Cleaned up code by extracting all JavaCallback emitter code into JavaCallbackEmitter class in one place, leaving JavaMethodbindingEmitter and CMethodbindingEmitter mostly in their original stage (non-convoluted). In this regard, I had to refactor a few function, i.e. moving CMethodbindingEmitter.getJNIMangledArg(..) into JavaType.appendDescriptor(..) and JavaType.appendJNIDescriptor(..) while reusing the toJNIMethodDescriptor(..) conversion. Test4JavaCallback covers and passes all cases.

+### Implementation Details
+Implementation generates a static Java callback dispatcher for each defined `SetCallbackFunction`, which gets invoked by the generated native static counterpart with all arguments required.
+
+The *static callback* utilizes its own synchronization for thread-safety and fetches the required data set stored at `SetCallbackFunction` to dispatch the call to the users' `CallbackFunction`.
+In case the callback has been removed already, the *static callback* simply bails out quietly.
+
+The native code does not create, release or manage heap memory and therefore is considered safe.
+
+### *JavaCallback* *UserParam* Mapping
+Usually the same `UserParam` type is used in both items (or hooks), `SetCallbackFunctionName` and `CallbackFunctionType`,
+which we call a homogeneous `UserParam` mapping.
+
+Even in a homogeneous `UserParam` mapping, handling of the `UserParam` value might differ in the native binding code.
+
+To specify a non homogeneous `UserParam` mapping, i.e. heterogeneous `UserParam` mapping,
+the `UserParam` index of the `SetCallbackFunction` must be [set in the configuration](#javacallback-configuration).
+
+The following mappings are supported.
+
+#### Pure Java Object User Type (default)
+A pure Java *Object type* is used for both, `SetCallbackFunctionName` and `CallbackFunctionType`.
+
+It's a homogeneous `UserParam` mapping, where the native side receives a simple unique ID and shall not dereference the *pointer*.
+
+The static Java callback dispatcher fetches the Java `UserParam` *Object* from the key-mapped data value.
+
+#### Struct Type User Param (Homogeneous)
+A [GlueGen generated *Struct type*](#struct-mapping) is used for both, `SetCallbackFunctionName` and `CallbackFunctionType`.
+
+It's a homogeneous `UserParam` mapping, where the native side receives the actual native struct address.
+
+The static Java callback dispatcher dereferences the received native struct address (*long*), i.e. rebuilding the *struct Object* to be passed to the users' `CallbackFunction`.
+
+#### Struct Type User Param (Heterogeneous)
+An anonymous pointer (*long*) for `SetCallbackFunctionName` and a [GlueGen generated *struct type*](#struct-mapping) for `CallbackFunctionType` is being used.
+
+It's a heterogeneous `UserParam` mapping, where the toolkit is expected to place the given anonymous pointer inside the defined *struct type* passed to the `CallbackFunction`.
+
+The `SetCallback-UserParamIndex` for the different parameter-type is [set in the configuration](#javacallback-configuration).
+
+The static Java callback dispatcher dereferences the received native struct address (*long*), i.e. rebuilding the *struct Object* to be passed to the users' `CallbackFunction`.
