proto, runtime/protoiface: add support for fast-path marshaling

Allow message implementations to provide optimized versions of standard
operations. Generated messages now include a ProtoReflectMethods method,
returning a protoiface.Methods struct containing pointers to assorted
optional functions.

The Methods struct also includes a Flags field indicating support for
optional features such as deterministic marshaling.

Implementation of the fast paths (and tests) will come in later CLs.

Next Generation Go Protocol Buffers

WARNING: This repository is in active development. There are no guarantees about API stability. Breaking changes will occur until a stable release is made and announced.

This repository is for the development of the next major Go implementation of protocol buffers. This library makes breaking API changes relative to the existing Go protobuf library. Of particular note, this API aims to make protobuf reflection a first-class feature of the API and implements the protobuf ecosystem in terms of reflection.
