After this change, `mini_table` only has MiniTable definitions themselves. Everything having to do with the MiniDescriptor wire format is in `mini_descriptor`.
Also rearranged some of the files in mini_table to have better structure for `internal/`.
This CL contains no functional change.

Since promotion is a more complicated operation than the simple accessors, and since promotion logic will likely be changing before long, it helps to put promotion-related logic in a separate place and rule.

The fields of upb_MiniTableField are intended to be internal-only, accessed only through public functions like `upb_MiniTable_GetSubMessageTable()`. But over time, clients have started accessing many of these fields directly. This is an easy mistake to make, as there is no clear signal that the fields should not be used in applications. This makes the implementation difficult to change without breaking users.
The new `UPB_PRIVATE()` macro appends an unpredictable string to each private symbol. This makes it very difficult to accidentally use a private symbol, since users would need to write something like `field->submsg_index_dont_copy_me__upb_internal_use_only`. This is still possible to do, but it leaves a clear wart in the code showing that an an encapsulation break has occurred. The `UPB_PRIVATE()` macro itself is defined in `port/def.inc`, which users cannot include directly.
Once we land this, more such CLs will follow for the other fields of `upb_MiniTable*`. We will add inline functions as needed to provide the semantic functionality needed by users.

The overall motivation for this interface is to consolidate many places in upb that are parsing wire format data directly.
This interface is not yet complete, but this is a good start. We have enough to port the wire format parsing in accessors.c to this interface. We can follow up by porting more places that do wire format parsing.

This CL eliminates the last remaining callers of GetFieldOffset(), therefore opening the door to a more principled bootstrapping process.

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/

- 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

Internal array functions are now implemented in upb/internal/array.c and declared in
upb/internal/array.h, which only has local visibility.
