Michael Stapelberg ed7b51feef proto: extend documentation of GetExtension, SetExtension
Document the type mapping and the recommended pattern for working with
extensions. This documentation was Google-internal (cl/335451491), presumably
because of the reference to static analysis tools that don’t exist outside.

Compared to the internal version, this CL uses “should” instead of “must”.

// If the field is unpopulated, it returns the default value for

// The type of the value is dependent on the field type of the extension.
// For extensions generated by protoc-gen-go, the Go type is as follows:

// ╔═══════════════════╤═════════════════════════╗
// ║ Go type │ Protobuf kind ║
// ╠═══════════════════╪═════════════════════════╣
// ║ bool │ bool ║
// ║ int32 │ int32, sint32, sfixed32 ║
// ║ int64 │ int64, sint64, sfixed64 ║
// ║ uint32 │ uint32, fixed32 ║
// ║ uint64 │ uint64, fixed64 ║
// ║ float32 │ float ║
// ║ float64 │ double ║
// ║ string │ string ║
// ║ []byte │ bytes ║
// ║ protoreflect.Enum │ enum ║
// ║ proto.Message │ message, group ║
// ╚═══════════════════╧═════════════════════════╝
//
// The protoreflect.Enum and proto.Message types are the concrete Go type
// associated with the named enum or message. Repeated fields are represented
// using a Go slice of the base element type.
//
// If a generated extension descriptor variable is directly passed to
// GetExtension, then the call should be followed immediately by a
// type assertion to the expected output value. For example:
//
// mm := proto.GetExtension(m, foopb.E_MyExtension).(*foopb.MyMessage)
//
// This pattern enables static analysis tools to verify that the asserted type
// matches the Go type associated with the extension field and
// also enables a possible future migration to a type-safe extension API.
//
// Since singular messages are the most common extension type, the pattern of
// calling HasExtension followed by GetExtension may be simplified to:
//
// if mm := proto.GetExtension(m, foopb.E_MyExtension).(*foopb.MyMessage); mm != nil {
// ... // make use of mm
// }
//
// The mm variable is non-nil if and only if HasExtension reports true.
