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.
