Change protoV1.ExtensionDesc to directly implement ExtensionType
rather than delegating to one.
Unify the previous types protoiface.ExtensionDescV1 and
filetype.Extension in impl.ExtensionInfo. The protoV1.ExtensionDesc
type becomes an alias to ExtensionInfo.
This gives us:
- Just one implementation of ExtensionType.
- Generated foopb.E_Ext vars are canonical ExtensionTypes.
- Generated foopb.E_Ext vars are also v1.ExtensionDescs for backwards
compatibility.
- Conversion between legacy and modern representations happens
transparently when lazily initializing an ExtensionInfo.
Overall, a simplification for users of generated code, since they can
mostly ignore the ExtensionDesc/ExtentionType distinction and use the
same value in either the old or new API.

In order for protoc-gen-go to output the current version,
it needs to know what version it is currently running as.
However, we cannot rely on the git tags since the tags are not
made until *after* the commit has been submitted.
Instead, we manually encode the version into the code and
make sure that git tags match up with the version in the code.
The version.go file in runtime/protoimpl contains instructions
for how to make a release. Essentially:
* Every non-release commit has a version string with "devel" in it.
* Every release commit must not have "devel" in it and must be unique.
* The "release process" involves submitting two CLs.
The first CL creates a version string without "devel",
which is the commit that a git tag will actually reference.
The second CL follows immediately and re-introduces "devel"
into the version string.
The following example shows a possible sequence of VersionStrings
for git commits in time-ascending order:
v1.19.0-devel (this CL)
v1.19.0-devel
v1.19.0-devel
v1.19.0-devel
v1.20.0-rc.1 <- tagged
v1.20.0-rc.1.devel
v1.20.0-rc.1.devel
v1.20.0-rc.1.devel
v1.20.0-rc.2 <- tagged
v1.20.0-rc.2.devel
v1.20.0 <- tagged (future public release)
v1.20.0-devel
v1.20.0-devel
v1.20.0-devel
v1.20.0-devel
v1.20.1 <- tagged
v1.20.1-devel
v1.20.1-devel
v1.21.0 <- tagged
v1.21.0-devel
Note that we start today with v1.19.0-devel, which means that our initial
release will be v1.20.0. This number was intentionally chosen since
1) the number 20 has some correlation to the fact that we keep calling
the new implementation the "v2" implementation, and
2) the set of tagged versions for github.com/golang/protobuf
and google.golang.org/protobuf are unlikely to ever overlap.
This way, the version of protoc-gen-go is never ambiguous which module
it was built from.
Now that we have version information, we add support for generating .pb.go
files with the version information recorded. However, we do not emit
these for .pb.go files in our own repository since they are always guaranteed
to be at the right version (enforced by integration_test.go).

We define MessageState, which is essentially an atomically set *MessageInfo.
By nesting this as the first field in every generated message, we can
implement the reflective methods on a *MessageState when obtained by
unsafe casting a concrete message pointer as a *MessageState.
The MessageInfo held by MessageState provides additional Go type information
to interpret the memory that comes after the contents of the MessageState.
Since we are nesting a MessageState in every message,
the memory use of every message instance grows by 8B.
On average, the body of ProtoReflect grows from 133B to 202B (+50%).
However, this is offset by XXX_Methods, which is 108B and
will be removed in a future CL. Taking into account the eventual removal
of XXX_Methods, this is a net reduction of 25%.

We modify protoc-gen-go to stop generating exported XXX fields.
The unsafe implementation is unaffected by this change since unsafe
can access fields regardless of visibility. However, for the purego
implementation, we need to respect Go visibility rules as enforced
by the reflect package.
We work around this by generating a exporter function that given
a reference to the message and the field to export, returns a reference
to the unexported field value. This exporter function is protected by
a constant such that it is not linked into the final binary in non-purego
build environment.

Deprecated API (to be removed in subsequent CL):

The primary difference with the new API is that the top-level
Message methods are keyed by FieldDescriptor rather than FieldNumber
with the following semantics:
* For known fields, the FieldDescriptor must exactly match the
field descriptor known by the message.
* For extension fields, the FieldDescriptor must implement ExtensionType,
where ContainingMessage.FullName matches the message name, and
the field number is within the message's extension range.
When setting an extension field, it automatically stores
the extension type information.
* Extension fields are always considered nullable,
implying that repeated extension fields are nullable.
That is, you can distinguish between a unpopulated list and an empty list.
* Message.Get always returns a valid Value even if unpopulated.
The behavior is already well-defined for scalars, but for unpopulated
composite types, it now returns an empty read-only version of it.

As a goal, v2 should not depend on v1. As another step towards that end,
we move all the types that used to be in the v1 protoapi package over to v2.
For now, we place MessageV1, ExtensionRangeV1, and ExtensionDescV1
in runtime/protoiface since these are types that generated messages will
probably have to reference forever. An alternative location could be
reflect/protoreflect, but it seems unfortunate to have to dirty the
namespace of that package with these types.
We move ExtensionFieldV1, ExtensionFieldsV1, and ExtensionFieldsOf
to internal/impl, since these are related to the implementation of a
generated message.
Since moving these types from v1 to v2 implies that the v1 protoapi
package is useless, we update all usages of v1 protoapi in the v2
repository to point to the relevant v2 type or functionality.
CL/168538 is the corresponding change to alter v1.

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.

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.
