(There are documentation changes and new fields in descriptor.proto that have resulted
in changes to the serialized descriptor, but no breaking changes for C#.)
We now do this in protoc instead of the generation simpler.
Benefits:
- Generation script is simpler
- Detection is simpler as we now only need to care about one filename
- The embedded descriptor knows itself as "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto" avoiding dependency issues
This PR also makes the "invalid dependency" exception clearer in terms of expected and actual dependencies.

Change the C# namespace in descriptor.proto to Google.Protobuf.Reflection.
This then means changing where the generated code lives, which means updating the project file...
It also involves regenerating the C++ - which has updated the well-known types as well,
for no terribly obvious reason...
Note that now we need a proto3 version of addressbook.proto. This may affect other platforms, and could do with an overhaul to follow proto3 conventions anyway (e.g. repeated field names). Will need to think about that carefully before merging into master. Raised issue #565 for this.
- Make some members internal
- Remove a lot of FrameworkPortability that isn't required
- Start adding documentation comments
- Remove some more group-based members
- Not passing in "the last tag read" into Read*Array, g
Remove ICodedInputStream and ICodedOutputStream, and rewrite CodedInputStream and CodedOutputStream to be specific to the binary format. If we want to support text-based formats, that can be a whole different serialization mechanism.
This makes repeated fields really awkward at the moment - but when we reimplement RepeatedField<T> to be backed by an array, we can cast the array directly...
