Change the storage type of ExtensionField from interface{} to
protoreflect.Value.
Replace the codec functions operating on interface{}s with ones
operating on Values.
Values are potentially more efficient, since they can represent
non-pointer types without allocation. This also reduces the number of
types used to represent field values.
Additionally, this change lays groundwork for changing the
user-visible representation of repeated extension fields from
*[]T to []T. The storage type for extension fields must support mutation
(thus *[]T currently); changing the storage type to a Value permits this
without the need to introduce yet another view on field values.

Remove the remaining uses of the prototype package.
The most significant change is to impl.MessageInfo, which now directly
implements the MessageType interface. This involves two notable changes
to exported fields of MessageInfo:
- PBType is now Desc.
- GoType is now GoReflectType. (Name changed to avoid a conflict with
the GoType method of the MessageType interface.)

Change protoiface.ExtensionDescV1 to implement protoreflect.ExtensionType.
ExtensionDescV1's Name field conflicts with the Descriptor Name method,
so change the protoreflect.{Message,Enum,Extension}Type types to no
longer implement the corresponding Descriptor interface. This also leads
to a clearer distinction between the two types.
Introduce a protoreflect.ExtensionTypeDescriptor type which bridges
between ExtensionType and ExtensionDescriptor.
Add extension accessor functions to the proto package:
proto.{Has,Clear,Get,Set}Extension. These functions take a
protoreflect.ExtensionType parameter, which allows writing the
same function call using either the old or new API:
proto.GetExtension(message, somepb.E_ExtensionFoo)
