- Add two addition field options that are used as markers for
specific YANG types in generated protobufs.
```
This adds two additional unique `FieldOptions` field numbers for annotat YANG leaf-lists, and leaf-lists of unions that need specific handling in field option code. Definitions for these fields are in github.com/openconfig/ygygot, particularly https://github.com/openconfig/ygot/blob/master/proto/yext/yext.proto.
Closes#11518

We are requesting a range of numbers instead of just one since we have some plans for a variety of orthogonal kinds of custom options. For example:
1. Injecting extra metadata into FileDescriptorProtos via custom options. (These options are inserted by the Buf tool when building proto sources, to encode additional metadata about the unit of files compiled.)
2. Configuration options for protoc plugins, that generate extra metadata into sources. (These options may be used by users when writing proto sources.)
The suggested approach of reserving just one number and making it a message that contains *all* options is unattractive since users of one category of options is unlikely to want to import types related to another category.
FWIW, there are several other rows above that have also chosen to reserve ranges of 5 or 10 numbers.

unistack-org/micro (microservices framework) uses protoc-gen-go-micro generator that has extension support for additional framework related options.
It is currently not using any registered extension number, so i want to stabilise this and i think that this is a good thing.
See here for an example of the extenstion in action.

SummaFT develops a protoc plugin for both internal and external use that allows specific extensions to be made to extend the platform for GraphQL and OpenAPI 3.
The Bazel project (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel) intends to
enrich its server app's (protobuf-defined) command service's status
message with a structured representation of what, if anything, went
wrong while processing a command. We wish to use custom options to add
metadata to the protobuf constructs involved.
