Streamline creation of new elements in `RepeatedPtrField`

The logic to create new elements in `RepeatedPtrField` was spread across an assorted collection of specializations of `GenericTypeHandler`, individual `GenericTypeHandler` static functions, and external member and non-member functions, all living in multiple sources. Now all that logic is concentrated in three symmetric `GenericTypeHandler` specializations.
