Joe Tsai 4b7aff630a all: rename Vector as List
The terminology Vector does not occur in protobuf documentation at all,
so we should rename the Go use of the term to something more recognizable.
As such, all instances that match the regexp "[Vv]ect(or)?" were replaced.

The C++ documentation uses the term "Repeated", which is a reasonable name.
However, the term became overloaded in 2014, when maps were added as a feature
and implementated under the hood as repeated fields. This is confusing as it
means "repeated" could either refer to repeated fields proper (i.e., explicitly
marked with the "repeated" label in the proto file) or map fields. In the case
of the C++ reflective API, this is not a problem since repeated fields proper
and map fields are interacted with through the same RepeatedField type.

In Go, we do not use a single type to handle both types of repeated fields:
1) We are coming up with the Go protobuf reflection API for the first time
and so do not need to piggy-back on the repeated fields API to remain backwards
compatible since no former usages of Go protobuf reflection exists.
2) Map fields are commonly represented in Go as the Go map type, which do not
preserve ordering information. As such it is fundamentally impossible to present
an unordered map as a consistently ordered list. Thus, Go needs two different
interfaces for lists and maps.

Given the above situation, "Repeated" is not a great term to use since it
refers to two different things (when we only want one of the meanings).
To distinguish between the two, we'll use the terms "List" and "Map" instead.
There is some precedence for the term "List" in the protobuf codebase
(e.g., "getRepeatedInt32List").

// Value is a union where only one Go type may be set at a time.
// The Value is used to represent all possible values a field may take.
// The following shows what Go type is used to represent each proto Kind:
//
// +------------+-------------------------------------+
// | Go type | Protobuf kind |
// +------------+-------------------------------------+
// | bool | BoolKind |
// | int32 | Int32Kind, Sint32Kind, Sfixed32Kind |
// | int64 | Int64Kind, Sint64Kind, Sfixed64Kind |
// | uint32 | Uint32Kind, Fixed32Kind |
// | uint64 | Uint64Kind, Fixed64Kind |
// | float32 | FloatKind |
// | float64 | DoubleKind |
// | string | StringKind |
// | []byte | BytesKind |
// | EnumNumber | EnumKind |
// +------------+-------------------------------------+
// | Message | MessageKind, GroupKind |
// | List | |
// | Map | |
// +------------+-------------------------------------+
//
// Multiple protobuf Kinds may be represented by a single Go type if the type
// can losslessly represent the information for the proto kind. For example,
// Int64Kind, Sint64Kind, and Sfixed64Kind are all represented by int64,
// but use different integer encoding methods.
//
// The List or Map types are used if the FieldDescriptor.Cardinality of the
// corresponding field is Repeated and a Map if and only if
// FieldDescriptor.IsMap is true.
//
// Converting to/from a Value and a concrete Go value panics on type mismatch.
// For example, ValueOf("hello").Int() panics because this attempts to
// retrieve an int64 from a string.
type Value value
// The protoreflect API uses a custom Value union type instead of interface{}
// to keep the future open for performance optimizations. Using an interface{}
// always incurs an allocation for primitives (e.g., int64) since it needs to
// be boxed on the heap (as interfaces can only contain pointers natively).
// Instead, we represent the Value union as a flat struct that internally keeps
// track of which type is set. Using unsafe, the Value union can be reduced
// down to 24B, which is identical in size to a slice.
//
// The latest compiler (Go1.11) currently suffers from some limitations:
// • With inlining, the compiler should be able to statically prove that
// only one of these switch cases are taken and inline one specific case.
// See https://golang.org/issue/22310.
