Changes in brief:
1. Descriptor is now the entry point for all reflection.
2. IReflectedMessage has gone; there's now a Descriptor property in IMessage, which is explicitly implemented (due to the static property).
3. FieldAccessorTable has gone away
4. IFieldAccessor and OneofFieldAccessor still exist; we *could* put the functionality straight into FieldDescriptor and OneofDescriptor... I'm unsure about that.
5. There's a temporary property MessageDescriptor.FieldAccessorsByFieldNumber to make the test changes small - we probably want this to go away
6. Discovery for delegates is now via attributes applied to properties and the Clear method of a oneof
I'm happy with 1-3.
4 I'm unsure about - feedback welcome.
5 will go away
6 I'm unsure about, both in design and implementation. Should we have a ProtobufMessageAttribute too? Should we find all the relevant attributes in MessageDescriptor and pass them down, to avoid an O(N^2) scenario?
Generated code changes coming in the next commit.
The motivation is that gcc 4.8+ and clang trunk warn on unused local
typedefs, which COMPILE_ASSERT adds. After this change, the warning
will be happy at least in C++11 builds. static_assert also produces a
slighly nicer diagnostic than the typedef method.

did the same change in re2.
This involved fixing a few important bugs in the
Ruby implementation -- mostly cases of mixing
upb field types and descriptor types (upb field
types do not distinguish between int/sint/fixed/sfixed
like descriptor types do).
Also added protobuf-specific exceptions so parse
errors can be caught specifically.

- We do still generate the message types, as otherwise reflection breaks, even though it doesn't actually use those types.
- JSON handling hasn't been implemented yet
