The new API upb_MiniTable_Link() links all sub-messages and sub-enums at a single time, by accepting an array of sub-tables and sub-enums. The order of these sub-tables can be queried using a separate function `upb_MiniTable_GetSubList()`, and this information is added to `CodeGeneratorRequest` as part of the upb-specific info.

The upb convention is that "_Build()" means to also allocate, which this function does not do, so rename it as "_Init()" to free up the name for a future function that does allocate.

According to https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/program/setjmp automatic variables
modified in a function calling setjmp can have indeterminate values. Instead,
refactor all functions calling setjmp so that the function calling setjmp
doesn’t have any local variables.
Part II: Mini table decoder.

Currently these functions are hardwired to always return true, but the upstream
code now checks for failures (which will be implemented soon).

The initial motivation for this CL was to fix a bug found by fuzzing. But the fuzz bug pointed out a few edge cases that this CL corrects:
1. The core bug is that we were allowing a map entry sub-message to be linked to a group field. This is not allowed in protobuf schemas, but we did not check for this edge case in `upb_MiniTable_SetSubMessage()`, so we were de facto allowing it. This triggered some bad behavior in the parser whereby we pushed a limit without checking its validity first.
2. To defend against this, I added asserts in `upb_MiniTable_SetSubMessage()` to verify the type of the field we are linking, to ensure that a group field is not linked to a map entry sub-message. But this should probably be changed to return an error instead of relying on asserts for this.
3. I changed the fuzz util code that builds the MiniTable so that it will never violate this new invariant. The fuzz util code now can run into situations where a group field has no valid non-map-entry sub-message to select. In those cases it will simply not register any sub-message for that field.
4. Previously group did not support leaving sub-messages unregistered. Previously I added this feature for sub-messages but not for groups. There is no reason why dynamic tree shaking should not work for group fields, so I extended the feature to support groups also.

We were not calculating proper offsets for upb_MapEntryData in cases
where the compiler was run on a different word size than the runtime.

_upb_MiniTable_Build() is now the general version of the function;
upb_MiniTable_Build() calls it and sets the platform to default/native.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 491091021
upb_MiniTable_BuildEnum() -> upb_MiniTableEnum_Build()
upb_MiniTable_BuildExtension() -> upb_MiniTableExtension_Build()
also make the status pointer argument optional for the mini table builders

This required some work to unify map entry messages with regular messages, with respect to presence. Before map entry fields could never have presence. Now they can have presence according to normal rules. Note that this only applies to times that the user constructs a map entry directly.

Prior to this CL, there were several different code paths for reading/writing message data. Generated code, MiniTable accessors, and reflection all performed direct manipulation of the bits and bytes in a message, but they all had distinct implementations that did not share much of any code. This divergence meant that they could easily have different behavior, bugs could creep into one but not another, and we would need three different sets of tests to get full test coverage. This also made it very difficult to change the internal representation in any way, since it would require updating many places in the code.
With this CL, the three different APIs for accessing message data now all share a common set of functions. The common functions all take a `upb_MiniTableField` as the canonical description of a field's type and layout. The lowest-level functions are very branchy, as they must test for every possible variation in the field type (field vs oneof, hasbit vs no-hasbit, different field sizes, whether a nonzero default value exists, extension vs. regular field), however these functions are declared inline and designed to be very optimizable when values are known at compile time.
In generated accessors, for example, we can declare constant `upb_MiniTableField` instances so that all values can constant-propagate, and we can get fully specialized code even though we are calling a generic function. On the other hand, when we use the generic functions from reflection, we get runtime branches since values are not known at compile time. But even the function is written to still be as efficient as possible even when used from reflection. For example, we use memcpy() calls with constant length so that the compiler can optimize these into inline loads/stores without having to make an out-of-line call to memcpy().
In this way, this CL should be a benefit to both correctness and performance. It will also make it easier to change the message representation, for example to optimize the encoder by giving hasbits to all fields.
Note that we have not completely consolidated all access in this CL:
1. Some functions outside of get/set such as clear and hazzers are not yet unified.
2. The encoder and decoder still touch the message without going through the common functions. The encoder and decoder require a bit more specialized code to get good performance when reading/writing fields en masse.

Remove circular dependencies that were bouncing back and forth between
msg_internal.h and mini_table/, including:
- splitting out each mini table subtype into its own header
- moving the non-reflection message code into message/
- moving the accessors from mini_table/ to message/

We need to sharpen the distinction between messages and extensions in the mini
descriptor encoder, so split the code paths for each.

Prior to this CL, users were relying on `field->descriptortype` to get the field type. This almost works, as `field->descriptortype` is almost, but not quite, the field type of the field. In two special cases we deviate from the true field type, for ease of parsing and serialization:
- For open enums, we use `kUpb_FieldType_Int32` instead of `kUpb_FieldType_Enum`, because from the perspective of the wire format, an open enum field is equivalent to int32.
- For proto2 strings, we use `kUpb_FieldType_Bytes` instead of `kUpb_FieldType_String`, because proto2 strings do not perform UTF-8 validation, which makes them equivalent to bytes.
In this CL we add a public API function:
```
// Returns the true field type for this field.
upb_FieldType upb_MiniTableField_Type(const upb_MiniTable_Field* f);
```
This will provide the actual field type for this field.
Note that this CL changes the MiniDescriptor format. Previously MiniDescriptors did not contain enough information to distinguish between Enum/Int32. To remedy this we added a new encoded field type, `kUpb_EncodedType_ClosedEnum`.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 479387672
If the extension MiniDescriptor did not contain any fields, we would read an uninitialized value. We need to add a check that the extension descriptor contains exactly one field.

Optimizes `upb_MiniTable_Enum` for enums with many values (>64) but with relatively dense packing in numeric space.
This CL optimizes both the size and speed of such enums:
- size: 30x code size reduction
- speed: moved from linear search to a constant-time bit test
Negative enum values are still expensive, as they are never put into the bitfield.

upb has traditionally returned 16-byte-aligned pointers from arena allocation. This was out of an abundance of caution, since users could theoretically be using upb arenas to allocate memory that is then used for SSE/AVX values (eg. [`__m128`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/m128?view=msvc-170), which require 16-byte alignment.
In practice, the protobuf C++ arena has used 8-byte alignment for 8 years with no significant problems I know of arising from SSE etc.
Reducing the alignment requirement to 8 will save memory. It will also help with compatibility on 32-bit architectures where `malloc()` only returns 8-byte aligned memory. The immediate motivation is to fix the win32 build for Python protobuf.

An enum MiniDescriptor simply encodes a set of valid `int32_t` values, so that the protobuf parser can test whether a given enum value is known or not.
The format implemented here is novel and needs to be documented. In short, the format is:
1. base92 values 0-31: 5-bit mask indicating presence or absence of the next five enum values.
2. base92 values 60-91: varint indicating skip over a region of enum values.
Negative enum values are encoded as their `uint32_t` equivalent.
