This change moves almost everything in the `upb/` directory up one level, so
that for example `upb/upb/generated_code_support.h` becomes just
`upb/generated_code_support.h`. The only exceptions I made to this were that I
left `upb/cmake` and `upb/BUILD` where they are, mostly because that avoids
conflict with other files and the current locations seem reasonable for now.
The `python/` directory is a little bit of a challenge because we had to merge
the existing directory there with `upb/python/`. I made `upb/python/BUILD` into
the BUILD file for the merged directory, and it effectively loads the contents
of the other BUILD file via `python/build_targets.bzl`, but I plan to clean
this up soon.

A couple weeks ago we moved upb into the protobuf Git repo, and this change
continues the merger of the two repos by making them into a single Bazel repo.
This was mostly a matter of deleting upb's WORKSPACE file and fixing up a bunch
of references to reflect the new structure.
Most of the changes are pretty mechanical, but one thing that needed more
invasive changes was the Python script for generating CMakeLists.txt,
make_cmakelists.py. The WORKSPACE file it relied on no longer exists with this
change, so I updated it to hardcode the information it needed from that file.

This is the second attempt to fix our Git history. This should allow
"git blame" to work correctly in the upb/ directory even though our
automation unexpectedly blew away that directory.
Prior to this CL we were allocating a MiniTable for each message and then overwriting it later. This could lead to an inconsistent state, and is unnecessary. This CL adds an extra phase to initialization so that the MiniTable is assigned only one time for each message.

The initial motivation for this change was to fix a bug found by fuzzing. The old fuzz test (built on `cc_fuzz_target()`) detected an infinite loop if a bytes field default has an unterminated `\x` escape.
To fix this bug while expanding fuzz coverage, I created a fuzz test that verifies that we can do a lossless round trip from descriptor -> DefPool -> descriptor. We use C++ as the source of truth for whether a descriptor is valid or not, and what the canonical serialization back to protobuf form should be.
I wrote the new fuzz test using go/FuzzTest, which makes it easier and more readable to use an arbitrary `FileDescriptorSet` as input, while adding test cases for regressions.
The fuzz test highlighted a handful of errors that I subsequently fixed and added regression tests for:
1. The aforementioned unterminated `\x` bug.
2. We were not propagating the `edition` field.
3. We were missing the CheckIdent() check in a few places.
4. We were rejecting files with empty name, whereas C++ allows this.
5. There were a few bugs with escaping string defaults.
Since FuzzTest is Clang-only, I split the `FUZZ_TEST()` invocation from the regression tests, since the latter are portable and should be run on all platforms. Only `FUZZ_TEST()` itself is in a google3/Clang-only file.

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.

This CL changes the upb compiler to no longer depend on C++ protobuf libraries. upb now uses its own reflection libraries to implement its code generator.
# Key Benefits
1. upb can now use its own reflection libraries throughout the compiler. This makes upb more consistent and principled, and gives us more chances to dogfood our own C++ reflection API. This highlighted several parts of the C++ reflection API that were incomplete.
2. This CL removes code duplication that previously existed in the compiler. The upb reflection library has code to build MiniDescriptors and MiniTables out of descriptors, but prior to this CL the upb compiler could not use it. The upb compiler had a separate copy of this logic, and the compiler's copy of this logic was especially tricky and hard to maintain. This CL removes the separate copy of that logic.
3. This CL (mostly) removes upb's dependency on the C++ protobuf library. We still depend on `protoc` (the binary), but the runtime and compiler no longer link against C++'s libraries. This opens up the possibility of speeding up some builds significantly if we can use a prebuilt `protoc` binary.
# Bootstrap Stages
To bootstrap, we check in a copy of our generated code for `descriptor.proto` and `plugin.proto`. This allows the compiler to depend on the generated code for these two protos without creating a circular dependency. This code is checked in to the `stage0` directory.
The bootstrapping process is divided into a few stages. All `cc_library()`, `upb_proto_library()`, and `cc_binary()` targets that would otherwise be circular participate in this staging process. That currently includes:
* `//third_party/upb:descriptor_upb_proto`
* `//third_party/upb:plugin_upb_proto`
* `//third_party/upb:reflection`
* `//third_party/upb:reflection_internal`
* `//third_party/upbc:common`
* `//third_party/upbc:file_layout`
* `//third_party/upbc:plugin`
* `//third_party/upbc:protoc-gen-upb`
For each of these targets, we produce a rule for each stage (the logic for this is nicely encapsulated in Blaze/Bazel macros like `bootstrap_cc_library()` and `bootstrap_upb_proto_library()`, so the `BUILD` file remains readable). For example:
* `//third_party/upb:descriptor_upb_proto_stage0`
* `//third_party/upb:descriptor_upb_proto_stage1`
* `//third_party/upb:descriptor_upb_proto`
The stages are:
1. `stage0`: This uses the checked-in version of the generated code. The stage0 compiler is correct and outputs the same code as all other compilers, but it is unnecessarily slow because its protos were compiled in bootstrap mode. The stage0 compiler is used to generate protos for stage1.
2. `stage1`: The stage1 compiler is correct and fast, and therefore we use it in almost all cases (eg. `upb_proto_library()`). However its own protos were not generated using `upb_proto_library()`, so its `cc_library()` targets cannot be safely mixed with `upb_proto_library()`, as this would lead to duplicate symbols.
3. final (no stage): The final compiler is identical to the `stage1` compiler. The only difference is that its protos were built with `upb_proto_library()`. This doesn't matter very much for the compiler binary, but for the `cc_library()` targets like `//third_party/upb:reflection`, only the final targets can be safely linked in by other applications.
# "Bootstrap Mode" Protos
The checked-in generated code is generated in a special "bootstrap" mode that is a bit different than normal generated code. Bootstrap mode avoids depending on the internal representation of MiniTables or the messages, at the cost of slower runtime performance.
Bootstrap mode only interacts with MiniTables and messages using public APIs such as `upb_MiniTable_Build()`, `upb_Message_GetInt32()`, etc. This is very important as it allows us to change the internal representation without needing to regenerate our bootstrap protos. This will make it far easier to write CLs that change the internal representation, because it avoids the awkward dance of trying to regenerate the bootstrap protos when the compiler itself is broken due to bootstrap protos being out of date.
The bootstrap generated code does have two downsides:
1. The accessors are less efficient, because they look up MiniTable fields by number instead of hard-coding the MiniTableField into the generated code.
2. It requires runtime initialization of the MiniTables, which costs CPU cycles at startup, and also allocates memory which is never freed. Per google3 rules this is not really a leak, since this memory is still reachable via static variables, but it is undesirable in many contexts. We could fix this part by introducing the equivalent of `google::protobuf::ShutdownProtobufLibrary()`).
These downsides are fine for the bootstrapping process, but they are reason enough not to enable bootstrap mode in general for all protos.
# Bootstrapping Always Uses OSS Protos
To enable smooth syncing between Google3 and OSS, we always use an OSS version of the checked in generated code for `stage0`, even in google3.
This requires that the google3 code can be switched to reference the OSS proto names using a preprocessor define. We introduce the `UPB_DESC(xyz)` macro for this, which will expand into either `proto2_xyz` or `google_protobuf_xyz`. Any libraries used in `stage0` must use `UPB_DESC(xyz)` rather than refer to the symbol names directly.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 501458451
We have previously been using Copybara to rewrite these names, but for bootstrapping we will want to be able to sometimes use OSS names inside google3.

- replace all instances of the deprecated iterator with the much nicer new one
- fix a bug which caused the new iterator to skip all values in the hash array
- fix a bug which caused the new iterator to skip the first value in the hash table
- delete the old iterator code
- also replace most uses of the deprecated string hash table iterator
PiperOrigin-RevId: 489093240
The next lowest build target to scrub is the hash table. We already have a few
other things called 'table' (mini table, fast table) so let's just go with
'hash' here. Split apart the headers into int and str branches sharing common
definitions. Leave the core functions in a single .c for inlining.

- upb_DefPool_FindExtensionByMiniTable() has been promoted to a public function.
- There are now zero uses of the internal reflection headers outside of upb core (but still a few left in generated code).
PiperOrigin-RevId: 480211522
- Each def type has its own .c file and its own .h file
- Functions that require a builder context are declared in def_builder.h
- The mini descriptor encoders have also been pulled into upb/reflection/
- upb/def.h, upb/def.hpp, upb/reflection.h, and upb/reflection.hpp are now deprecated stubs that point to the new headers
