In order to generate descriptor.proto, the generated code would want to depend
on the prototype package to construct the reflection data structures.
However, this is a problem since descriptor itself is one of the dependencies
for prototype. To break this dependency, we do the following:
* Avoid using concrete *descriptorpb.XOptions messages in the public API, and
instead just use protoreflect.ProtoMessage. We do lose some type safety here
as a result.
* Use protobuf reflection to interpret the Options message.
* Split out NewFileFromDescriptorProto into a separate protodesc package since
constructing protobuf reflection from the descriptor proto obviously depends
on the descriptor protos themselves.
As part of this CL, we check in a pre-generated version of descriptor and plugin
that supports protobuf reflection natively and switchover all usages of those
protos to the new definitions. These files were generated by protoc-gen-go
from CL/150074, but hand-modified to remove dependencies on the v1 proto runtime.
