NativeScope in jextract code

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

This has been left for compatibility during the migration, but you are 
right, strictly speaking is no longer needed.

I also generally recommend avoiding NativeScope - since now the concept 
of arena allocator is supported by the API and provides the same 
features w/o an external API point; so we might, at some point, remove 
it from jextract, with the aim of reducing ancillary generated classes 
(including RuntimeHelper).
