Joe Tsai 3bc7d6f5cd reflect: switch MessageType.New to return Message ... Most usages of New actually prefer to interact with the reflective view rather than the native Go type. Thus, change New to return that instead. This parallels reflect.New, which returns the reflective view (i.e., reflect.Value) instead of native type (i.e., interface{}). We make the equivalent change to KnownFields.NewMessage, List.NewMessage, and Map.NewMessage for consistency. Since this is a subtle change where the type system will not always catch the changed type, this change was made by both changing the type and renaming the function to NewXXX and manually looking at every usage of the the function to ensure that the usage correctly operates on either the native Go type or the reflective view of the type. After the entire codebase was cleaned up, a rename was performed to convert NewXXX back to New.
