This implements SwiftArena.ofAuto() which uses phantom references (and a Cleaner) to manage java swift wrapper classes on the java side.

Usage is something like this:

new SwiftClass(SwiftArena.ofAuto())

When the JVM no longer has references to such object, it will initiate the clean of the object. Currently this is going to destroy() the object, however in this mode we should perhaps just decrement the reference count of the underlying object for swift classes, unlike in the Confined case.
