Java standard library support #761
Description
We should also have a module which exports important parts of java stdlib, like collections API.
Originally posted by @mahesh-hegde.
If we want to be able to pass objects between different generated bindings, we should make the generated bindings for the standard library reusable and put them in package:jni.

The java stdlib is quite large. One approach is to only extract the important bits, like ArrayList, and make them common. (We are kind of already doing that with java.lang.String which maps to JniString, it's a small change in generator to do the same with more types).
Another approach is to figure out the general problem of interop between 2 or more jnigen-generated packages.
In simple case, we can just list the special-cased type mappings in YAML.
For larger bindings, maybe generate a JSON file and let typename resolver in generator take care of it?
