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.
This will move us towards keeping all these encapsulation breaks in a common place.
This also removes the IFTTT blocks. Keeping IFTTT blocks for each language would become unmanageable, but going forward we will know to look in `//third_party/upb/bits` whenever the internal data structures in upb change.

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.

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.

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

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/
