- Rename the accessors from upb_MiniTable_Foo() to upb_Message_Foo()
- delete _upb_Message_Clearext() which is now redundant
- Allow the getters and setters to accept both extension and non-extension fields
- Add a (upb_Arena*) param to setters (only needed for extensions)
- Change setters from void to bool (since extensions may require allocations)

This required some work to unify map entry messages with regular messages, with respect to presence. Before map entry fields could never have presence. Now they can have presence according to normal rules. Note that this only applies to times that the user constructs a map entry directly.

Prior to this CL, there were several different code paths for reading/writing message data. Generated code, MiniTable accessors, and reflection all performed direct manipulation of the bits and bytes in a message, but they all had distinct implementations that did not share much of any code. This divergence meant that they could easily have different behavior, bugs could creep into one but not another, and we would need three different sets of tests to get full test coverage. This also made it very difficult to change the internal representation in any way, since it would require updating many places in the code.
With this CL, the three different APIs for accessing message data now all share a common set of functions. The common functions all take a `upb_MiniTableField` as the canonical description of a field's type and layout. The lowest-level functions are very branchy, as they must test for every possible variation in the field type (field vs oneof, hasbit vs no-hasbit, different field sizes, whether a nonzero default value exists, extension vs. regular field), however these functions are declared inline and designed to be very optimizable when values are known at compile time.
In generated accessors, for example, we can declare constant `upb_MiniTableField` instances so that all values can constant-propagate, and we can get fully specialized code even though we are calling a generic function. On the other hand, when we use the generic functions from reflection, we get runtime branches since values are not known at compile time. But even the function is written to still be as efficient as possible even when used from reflection. For example, we use memcpy() calls with constant length so that the compiler can optimize these into inline loads/stores without having to make an out-of-line call to memcpy().
In this way, this CL should be a benefit to both correctness and performance. It will also make it easier to change the message representation, for example to optimize the encoder by giving hasbits to all fields.
Note that we have not completely consolidated all access in this CL:
1. Some functions outside of get/set such as clear and hazzers are not yet unified.
2. The encoder and decoder still touch the message without going through the common functions. The encoder and decoder require a bit more specialized code to get good performance when reading/writing fields en masse.

update upb to use upb_Map_Next()
remove upb_MapIterator_SetValue(), which was declared but not actually implemented
remove upb_MapIterator_Done(), which was implemented but not actually used
PiperOrigin-RevId: 489989481
Remove circular dependencies that were bouncing back and forth between
msg_internal.h and mini_table/, including:
- splitting out each mini table subtype into its own header
- moving the non-reflection message code into message/
- moving the accessors from mini_table/ to message/

The next lowest build target to scrub is the hash table. We already have a few
other things called 'table' (mini table, fast table) so let's just go with
'hash' here. Split apart the headers into int and str branches sharing common
definitions. Leave the core functions in a single .c for inlining.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 488388767
- upb_DefPool_FindExtensionByMiniTable() has been promoted to a public function.
- There are now zero uses of the internal reflection headers outside of upb core (but still a few left in generated code).
PiperOrigin-RevId: 480211522
We had _upb_Message_New(), which created a message from a mini table and was
being used outside of upb even though it is an internal-only function.
We also had upb_Message_New(), which created a message from a message def.
Now there is a single public function, upb_Message_New(), which creates a
message from a mini table and covers all use cases. (The internal version has the same definition and is used for inlining.)
PiperOrigin-RevId: 480169804
- Each def type has its own .c file and its own .h file
- Functions that require a builder context are declared in def_builder.h
- The mini descriptor encoders have also been pulled into upb/reflection/
- upb/def.h, upb/def.hpp, upb/reflection.h, and upb/reflection.hpp are now deprecated stubs that point to the new headers
PiperOrigin-RevId: 474459500
The functions declared in reflection.h use neither arrays nor maps, so (a) stop including the array and map definitions, and (b) update the handful of other source files which were relying on that transitivity.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 472627278
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

* Added -Wextra and -Wshorten-64-to-32 and fixed resulting errors.
* Disable -Wshorten-32-to-64 since Kokoro is missing Clang.
* Fixed -Wextra warnings for gcc.
* Reordered UPB_UNUSED() to come after declarations.
* Added another -pedantic fix and log CC version.
* Fix compile error and conditionally run use_bazel.sh.
* Moved set -e after use_bazel.sh.
* Fixed typo in conditional.
- A new PHP-specific upb amalgamation. It contains everything related to upb_msg, but leaves out all of the old handlers-related interfaces and encoders/decoders.
# Schema/Defs Changes
- Changed `upb_fielddef_msgsubdef()` and `upb_fielddef_enumsubdef()` to return `NULL` instead of assert-failing if the field is not a message or enum.
- Added `upb_msgdef_iswrapper()`, to test whether this is a wrapper well-known type.
# Decoder
- Decoder bugfix: when we parse a submessage inside a oneof, we need to clear out any previous data, so we don't misinterpret it as a pointer to an existing submessage.
# JSON Decoder
- Allowed well-known types at the top level to have their special processing.
- Fixed a bug that could occur when parsing nested empty lists/objects, eg `[[]]`.
- Made the "ignore unknown" option also be permissive about unknown enumerators by setting them to 0.
# JSON Encoder
- Allowed well-known types at the top level to have their special processing.
- Removed all spaces after `:` and `,` characters, to match the old encoder and pass goldenfile tests.
# Message / Reflection
- Changed `upb_msg_hasoneof()` -> `upb_msg_whichoneof()`. The new function returns the `upb_fielddef*` of whichever oneof is set.
- Implemented `upb_msg_clearfield()` and added/implemented `upb_msg_clear()`.
- Added `upb_msg_discardunknown()`. Part of me thinks this should go in a util library instead of core reflection since it is a recursive algorithm.
# Compiler
- Always emit descriptors as an array instead of as a string, to avoid exceeding maximum string lengths. If this becomes a speed issue later we can go back to two separate paths.
* Created amalgamation with upb_msg but no handlers.
* Bugfix for upb_array_resize().
* Renamed "lite" amalgamation to "core", to avoid confusion.
Traditionally "lite" has meant "without reflection", but here we
mean it as "without handlers-based code."
* Build fixes from CI tests.
* Removed some more C++-style comments.
* Fix for out-of-order statements.
New code is smaller (in both source size and compiled size) and faster.
# Speed
The decoder speeds up on all machines I tested, though the amount of speedup varies. I was only able to test Intel CPUs.
