Changes in brief:
1. Descriptor is now the entry point for all reflection.
2. IReflectedMessage has gone; there's now a Descriptor property in IMessage, which is explicitly implemented (due to the static property).
3. FieldAccessorTable has gone away
4. IFieldAccessor and OneofFieldAccessor still exist; we *could* put the functionality straight into FieldDescriptor and OneofDescriptor... I'm unsure about that.
5. There's a temporary property MessageDescriptor.FieldAccessorsByFieldNumber to make the test changes small - we probably want this to go away
6. Discovery for delegates is now via attributes applied to properties and the Clear method of a oneof
I'm happy with 1-3.
4 I'm unsure about - feedback welcome.
5 will go away
6 I'm unsure about, both in design and implementation. Should we have a ProtobufMessageAttribute too? Should we find all the relevant attributes in MessageDescriptor and pass them down, to avoid an O(N^2) scenario?
Generated code changes coming in the next commit.
The motivation is that gcc 4.8+ and clang trunk warn on unused local
typedefs, which COMPILE_ASSERT adds. After this change, the warning
will be happy at least in C++11 builds. static_assert also produces a
slighly nicer diagnostic than the typedef method.

did the same change in re2.
This involved fixing a few important bugs in the
Ruby implementation -- mostly cases of mixing
upb field types and descriptor types (upb field
types do not distinguish between int/sint/fixed/sfixed
like descriptor types do).
Also added protobuf-specific exceptions so parse
errors can be caught specifically.

- We do still generate the message types, as otherwise reflection breaks, even though it doesn't actually use those types.
- JSON handling hasn't been implemented yet
We don't use it in the runtime or generated code anywhere now, so the extra small performance boost isn't as critical, and it has some undesirable consequences.
The tests have needed to change as iterator block enumerators don't throw when we might expect them to.
