Prior to this CL, users were relying on `field->descriptortype` to get the field type. This almost works, as `field->descriptortype` is almost, but not quite, the field type of the field. In two special cases we deviate from the true field type, for ease of parsing and serialization:
- For open enums, we use `kUpb_FieldType_Int32` instead of `kUpb_FieldType_Enum`, because from the perspective of the wire format, an open enum field is equivalent to int32.
- For proto2 strings, we use `kUpb_FieldType_Bytes` instead of `kUpb_FieldType_String`, because proto2 strings do not perform UTF-8 validation, which makes them equivalent to bytes.
In this CL we add a public API function:
```
// Returns the true field type for this field.
upb_FieldType upb_MiniTableField_Type(const upb_MiniTable_Field* f);
```
This will provide the actual field type for this field.
Note that this CL changes the MiniDescriptor format. Previously MiniDescriptors did not contain enough information to distinguish between Enum/Int32. To remedy this we added a new encoded field type, `kUpb_EncodedType_ClosedEnum`.

Optimizes `upb_MiniTable_Enum` for enums with many values (>64) but with relatively dense packing in numeric space.
This CL optimizes both the size and speed of such enums:
- size: 30x code size reduction
- speed: moved from linear search to a constant-time bit test
Negative enum values are still expensive, as they are never put into the bitfield.

Internal array functions are now implemented in upb/internal/array.c and declared in
upb/internal/array.h, which only has local visibility.

some headers were not including port_def.inc
some headers were not declaring extern "C"
some headers were backing out of the above in the wrong order

Now that 'size' has been renamed as 'capacity' we are free to rename 'len' as
'size', so upb_Array_Size() is actually returning the 'size' field.

The current field/function names for upb_Array are quite confusing.
We will fix them in two steps, this being the first step.

Lots of changes but it's all just moving things around.
Backward-compatible stub #include's have been provided for now.
upb_Arena/upb_Status have been split out from upb/upb.?
upb_Array/upb_Map/upb_MessageValue have been split out from upb/collections.?
upb_ExtensionRegistry has been split out from upb/msg.?
upb/decode_internal.h is now upb/internal/decode.h
upb/mini_table_accessors_internal.h is now upb/internal/mini_table_accessors.h
upb/table_internal.h is now upb/internal/table.h
upb/upb_internal.h is now upb/internal/upb.h

upb has traditionally returned 16-byte-aligned pointers from arena allocation. This was out of an abundance of caution, since users could theoretically be using upb arenas to allocate memory that is then used for SSE/AVX values (eg. [`__m128`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/m128?view=msvc-170), which require 16-byte alignment.
In practice, the protobuf C++ arena has used 8-byte alignment for 8 years with no significant problems I know of arising from SSE etc.
Reducing the alignment requirement to 8 will save memory. It will also help with compatibility on 32-bit architectures where `malloc()` only returns 8-byte aligned memory. The immediate motivation is to fix the win32 build for Python protobuf.

An enum MiniDescriptor simply encodes a set of valid `int32_t` values, so that the protobuf parser can test whether a given enum value is known or not.
The format implemented here is novel and needs to be documented. In short, the format is:
1. base92 values 0-31: 5-bit mask indicating presence or absence of the next five enum values.
2. base92 values 60-91: varint indicating skip over a region of enum values.
Negative enum values are encoded as their `uint32_t` equivalent.
