We've had access to views for submessages for a while:
If you hit some_message.submsg().some_int(), you'll get a view for that int.
Until now, there hasn't been a way to get some_message.submsg_mut(), so we introduce the mutational pathway here.
We haven't added fully-functioning mutation, but this is a step towards that goal.
subview was inaccurate, so I've refactored and renamed: { accessor_fns_for_views, accessor_fns_for_muts }.

This makes a few changes:
- It changes generated messages to reference message innards as a type in `__runtime` instead of branching on what fields should be there. That results in much less bifurcation in gencode and lets runtime-agnostic code reference raw message innards.
- It adds a generic mechanism for creating vtable-based mutators. These vtables point to thunks generated for interacting with C++ or upb fields. Right now, the design results in 2-word (msg+vtable) mutators for C++ and 3-word mutators (msg+arena+vtable) for UPB. See upb.rs for an explanation of the design options. I chose the `RawMessage+&Arena` design for mutator data as opposed to a `&MessageInner` design because it did not result in extra-indirection layout changes for message mutators. We could revisit this in the future with performance data, since this results in all field mutators being 3 words large instead of the register-friendly 2 words.
- And lastly, as a nearby change that touches on many of the same topics, it adds some extra SAFETY comments for Send/Sync in message gencode.

These are more type safe, and more clearly distinguish between a
raw message and serialized data.
This also defines a macro to create new opaque pointer types, and
switches `RawArena` to using it.

This CL sets up the basic plumbing end-to-end for singular message fields.
We add skeletonized support for `Proxied` messages. This is done
by creating structs for $Msg$View and $Msg$Mut, and providing
stubbed impls.

This adds `#![deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)]` which removes the
implicit `unsafe` block that `unsafe fn` does.
It also adds many more `SAFETY` docs, corrects some incomplete
ones, and catches a null pointer returned by `upb_Arena_New`.

No need to say "represents" when describing a type (all types represent
something in real world, they are not the real thing), and "ABI-compatible"
needs a dash.

In this CL I'd like to call existing C++ Protobuf API from the V0 Rust API. Since parts of the C++ API are defined inline and using (obviously) C++ name mangling, we need to create a "thunks.cc" file that:
1) Generates code for C++ API function we use from Rust
2) Exposes these functions without any name mangling (meaning using `extern "C"`)
In this CL we add Bazel logic to generate "thunks" file, compile it, and propagate its object to linking. We also add logic to protoc to generate this "thunks" file.
The protoc logic is rather rudimentary still. I hope to focus on protoc code quality in my followup work on V0 Rust API using C++ kernel.

In this CL we're adding the barebones infrastructure to generate Rust proto messages using UPB as a backend. The API is what we call a V0, not yet production-quality, not yet rigorously designed, just something to enable parallel work.
The interesting part of switching backend between UPB and C++ will come in a followup.

* Follows proper autoloading standards
- Splits PHP classes in descriptor.php into separate files
- Splits MapFieldIter and RepeatedFieldIter into separate files
- Moves descriptor.php to Internal/functions.php
- Moves all namespaced functions into Iternal/functions.php
* fixes Makefile.am for added php files
* [PHP] moves all functions to GPBUtil
* removes description.php from the makefile
General
* License changed from Apache 2.0 to New BSD.
* It is now possible to define custom "options", which are basically
annotations which may be placed on definitions in a .proto file.
For example, you might define a field option called "foo" like so:
import "google/protobuf/descriptor.proto"
extend google.protobuf.FieldOptions {
optional string foo = 12345;
}
Then you annotate a field using the "foo" option:
message MyMessage {
optional int32 some_field = 1 [(foo) = "bar"]
}
The value of this option is then visible via the message's
Descriptor:
const FieldDescriptor* field =
MyMessage::descriptor()->FindFieldByName("some_field");
assert(field->options().GetExtension(foo) == "bar");
This feature has been implemented and tested in C++ and Java.
Other languages may or may not need to do extra work to support
custom options, depending on how they construct descriptors.
C++
* Fixed some GCC warnings that only occur when using -pedantic.
* Improved static initialization code, making ordering more
predictable among other things.
* TextFormat will no longer accept messages which contain multiple
instances of a singular field. Previously, the latter instance
would overwrite the former.
* Now works on systems that don't have hash_map.
Python
* Strings now use the "unicode" type rather than the "str" type.
String fields may still be assigned ASCII "str" values; they will
automatically be converted.
* Adding a property to an object representing a repeated field now
raises an exception. For example:
# No longer works (and never should have).
message.some_repeated_field.foo = 1
