Nicolas Hillegeer 87fded5d2a internal/impl: ensure proto.HasExtension does not allocate
Extensions are unmarshaled lazily if protolegacy is true. The current
implementation of proto.HasExtension forces this unmarshaling to happen.
Change that.

Lazy message extensions are unmarshaled on first access, see
(*ExtensionField).Value. This leads to an (expensive) unmarshal
operation even if the user only wanted to know whether the extension is
present.

Granted, in most cases a HasExtension returning true will be followed by
a GetExtension. Due to memoization (see (*ExtensionField).lazyInit), the
cost will just shift from HasExtension to GetExtension. But, this CL
allows building cheaper functionality that only needs to know about
extension existence.

Why can this validation be removed?

 - All tests pass.
 - This check was added in CL 229558. The author (Joe Tsai) noted:

> Technically this shouldn't be needed, but I couldn't adequately reason
> whether a nil message value would ever be set through non-reflection

Like the author, I believe it's not needed:

 - `proto.SetExtension` does not allow setting invalid messages (see
   proto/extension.go).
 - Likewise, (*extensionMap).Set panics when attempting to set an
   invalid value.
 - Unmarshaling does not produce submessages for which `IsValid` is
   false.

The added test fails without the fix:

    $ go test -tags=protolegacy -test.v -test.run=TestHasExtensionNoAlloc proto/extension_test.go
    === RUN   TestHasExtensionNoAlloc
    === RUN   TestHasExtensionNoAlloc/Nil
    === RUN   TestHasExtensionNoAlloc/Eager
    === RUN   TestHasExtensionNoAlloc/Lazy
        extension_test.go:156: proto.HasExtension should not allocate, but allocated 3.00B per run
    --- FAIL: TestHasExtensionNoAlloc (0.00s)
        --- PASS: TestHasExtensionNoAlloc/Nil (0.00s)
        --- PASS: TestHasExtensionNoAlloc/Eager (0.00s)
        --- FAIL: TestHasExtensionNoAlloc/Lazy (0.00s)
    FAIL
    FAIL    command-line-arguments  0.018s

The tests are disabled in race mode because the race instrumentation for
closures et al. always allocates. The protolegacy tests were previously
only run in race mode. I added a non-race variant in
integration_test.go.
