Added methods:
Enum.Descriptor
Message.Descriptor
EnumType.Descriptor
MessageType.Descriptor
ExtensionType.Descriptor
Message.New
All functionality is switched over to use those methods instead of
implicitly relying on the fact that {Enum,Message}Type implicitly
implement the associated descriptor interface.
This CL does not yet remove {Enum,Message}.Type or prevent
{Enum,Message,Extension}Type from implementating a descriptor.
That is a subsequent CL.
The Message.New method is also added to replace functionality
that will be lost when the Type methods are removed.

Weak fields are an obsolete proto1 feature. They have been superseded
by extensions. However, some vestigial support for weak fields does
remain, mostly as Google-internal patches. (They aren't exciting;
extensions really do everything weak fields do in a cleaner and
more portable fashion.)
At the moment, the only visible impact of marking a field [weak=true]
is to exclude it from "internal/fileinit".FileBuilder.DependencyIndexes.
We want to preserve that behavior just in case we ever do add full weak
field support here.
Extend fileinit to look up message descriptors for weak fields in the
global registry. If the descriptor cannot be found, use a placeholder
instead.
Remove special-case handling of weak fields in the impl package. The
code generator doesn't do anything special for them, so they can be
treated as any other field.

Drop the protoreflect.FileDescriptor.DescriptorByName method.
Descriptor lookup will always happen through a protoregistry.Files, which
is more generally useful (it's rare that you want to find a descriptor in a
specific file, as opposed to a package which may be composed of multiple files).
Split protoregistry.Files descriptor lookup into individual per-type functions
(enum, message, extension, service), matching the preg.Types API.
Drop the ability to look up enum values, message fields, and service methods
for now. This can be easily added later if needed, and is trivial to implement
in user code. (e.g., look up the service and then consult sd.Methods.ByName().)

The protobuf type system hacks the representation of map entries into that
of a pseudo-message descriptor.
Previously, we made all message descriptors implement MessageType
where type descriptors had a GoType method that simply returned nil.
Unfortunately, this violates a nice property in the Go type system
where being able to assert to a MessageType guarantees that Go type
information is truly associated with that descriptor.
This CL makes it such that message descriptors for map entries
do not implement MessageType.

Changes:
* Modify protoc-gen-go to use a helper from internal/impl
to print the message as text.
* Add a helper function to internal/impl that calls v2 textpb.
* Modify encoding/textpb to avoid depending on descriptor proto,
which would cause an import cycle.
* Modify internal/fileinit to populate a pseudo-internal
method on MessageDescriptor to check whether the message should
use the message set wire format. We avoid adding this to the
main MessageDescriptor interface since message sets are a
deprecated proto1 feature that we should avoid promoting.

The prototype package was initially used by generated reflection support,
but has now been replaced by internal/fileinit.
Eventually, this functionality should be deleted and re-written in terms
of other components in the repo.
Usages that prototype currently provides (but should be moved) are:
* Constructing standalone messages and enums, which is behavior we should
provide in reflect/protodesc. The google.protobuf.{Enum,Type} are well-known
proto messages designed for this purpose.
* Constructing placeholder files, enums, and messages.
* Consructing protoreflect.{Message,Enum,Extension}Types, which are protobuf
descriptors with associated Go type information.

This CL takes a significantly different approach to generating support
for protobuf reflection. The previous approach involved generating a
large number of Go literals to represent the reflection information.
While that approach was correct, it resulted in too much binary bloat.
The approach taken here initializes the reflection information from
the raw descriptor proto, which is a relatively dense representation
of the protobuf reflection information. In order to keep initialization
cost low, several measures were taken:
* At program init, the bare minimum is parsed in order to initialize
naming information for enums, messages, extensions, and services declared
in the file. This is done because those top-level declarations are often
relevant for registration.
* Only upon first are most of the other data structures for protobuf
reflection actually initialized.
* Instead of using proto.Unmarshal, a hand-written unmarshaler is used.
This allows us to avoid a dependendency on the descriptor proto and also
because the API for the descriptor proto is fundamentally non-performant
since it requires an allocation for every primitive field.
At a high-level, the new implementation lives in internal/fileinit.
Several changes were made to other parts of the repository:
* cmd/protoc-gen-go:
* Stop compressing the raw descriptors. While compression does reduce
the size of the descriptors by approximately 2x, it is a pre-mature
optimization since the descriptors themselves are around 1% of the total
binary bloat that is due to generated protobufs.
* Seeding protobuf reflection from the raw descriptor significantly
simplifies the generator implementation since it is no longer responsible
for constructing a tree of Go literals to represent the same information.
* We remove the generation of the shadow types and instead call
protoimpl.MessageType.MessageOf. Unfortunately, this incurs an allocation
for every call to ProtoReflect since we need to allocate a tuple that wraps
a pointer to the message value, and a pointer to message type.
* internal/impl:
* We add a MessageType.GoType field and make it required that it is
set prior to first use. This is done so that we can avoid calling
MessageType.init except for when it is actually needed. The allows code
to call (*FooMessage)(nil).ProtoReflect().Type() without fearing that the
init code will run, possibly triggering a recursive deadlock (where the
init code depends on getting the Type of some dependency which may be
declared within the same file).
* internal/cmd/generate-types:
* The code to generate reflect/prototype/protofile_list_gen.go was copied
and altered to generated internal/fileinit.desc_list_gen.go.
At a high-level this CL adds significant technical complexity.
However, this is offset by several possible future changes:
* The prototype package can be drastically simplified. We can probably
reimplement internal/legacy to use internal/fileinit instead, allowing us
to drop another dependency on the prototype package. As a result, we can
probably delete most of the constructor types in that package.
* With the prototype package significantly pruned, and the fact that generated
code no longer depend on depends on that package, we can consider merging
what's left of prototype into protodesc.
