Move some of the new logic out of `GPBUnknownField` so it will end up as a much
simpler "container", with all the serialization logic inside `GPBUnknownFields`
instead.
Also move some of the internal logic needed into static C functions to reduce the
ObjC class overhead of `GPBUnknownFields`.
This was all inspired by realizing during serialization related apis the `type` of
each field was being examined multiple times and reduces that in addition to reducing
the number of methods being invoked.

`GPBUnknownFields` will be the eventually replacement for `GPBUnknownFieldSet`. This
introduces the type and the changes to `GPBUnknownField`.
The new api will preserve the wire ordering of unknown fields. This is now checked
in conformance tests.
While this adds the type changes and tests them, it does not yet wire the changes
in to the rest of the Runtime, so the conformance tests still done pass.
`GPBUnknownFieldSet` also hasn't been deprecated yet, that will come in later with
the wiring in to the runtime.

- Add more to the ObjC dir readme.
- Merge the ExtensionField and ExtensionDescriptor to reduce overhead.
- Fix an initialization race.
- Clean up the Xcode schemes.
- Remove the class/enum filter.
- Remove some forced inline that were bloating things without proof of performance wins.
- Rename some internal types to avoid conflicts with the well know types protos.
- Drop the use of ApplyFunctions to the compiler/optimizer can do what it wants.
- Better document some possible future improvements.
- Add missing support for parsing repeated primitive fields in packed or unpacked forms.
- Improve -hash.
- Add *Count for repeated and map<> fields to avoid auto create when checking for them being set.
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
