We occasionally need to work with immutable, empty lists, maps, and
messages. Notably, Message.Get on an empty repeated field will return a
"frozen" empty value.
Move handling of these immutable, zero-length composites into Converter,
to unify the behavior of regular and extension fields.
Add a Zero method to Converter, MessageType, and ExtensionType, to
provide a consistent way to get an empty, frozen value of a composite
type. Adding this method to the public {Message,Extension}Type
interfaces does increase our API surface, but lets us (for example)
cleanly represent an empty map as a nil map rather than a non-nil
one wrapped in a frozenMap type.
Drop the frozen{List,Map,Message} types as no longer necessary.
(These types did have support for creating a read-only view of a
non-empty value, but we are not currently using that feature.)
