This past reliance doesn't work well with Swift, and the sources
were trying to over hand optimize to minimize rebuilds, and that
likely isn't worth the trouble, so explicit imports.
The remaining places that still use them are where they are
needed within the header to deal with relationships between
the local definitions or where there is a cycle between the
headers and it allows either one to be imported first and still
get a complete definition in the using context.

Default to collecting unknown fields as data and then create the
`GPBUnknownFieldSet` on demand when requested.
This should reduce the as the extra objects are created until requested
and clears the way to eventually deprecated `GPBUnknownFieldSet` in the
future.
This also fixes the failing conformance test related to keeping the ordering.

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
