reflect/protoreflect: add alternative message reflection API

Added API:
	Message.Len
	Message.Range
	Message.Has
	Message.Clear
	Message.Get
	Message.Set
	Message.Mutable
	Message.NewMessage
	Message.WhichOneof
	Message.GetUnknown
	Message.SetUnknown

Deprecated API (to be removed in subsequent CL):
	Message.KnownFields
	Message.UnknownFields

The primary difference with the new API is that the top-level
Message methods are keyed by FieldDescriptor rather than FieldNumber
with the following semantics:
* For known fields, the FieldDescriptor must exactly match the
field descriptor known by the message.
* For extension fields, the FieldDescriptor must implement ExtensionType,
where ContainingMessage.FullName matches the message name, and
the field number is within the message's extension range.
When setting an extension field, it automatically stores
the extension type information.
* Extension fields are always considered nullable,
implying that repeated extension fields are nullable.
That is, you can distinguish between a unpopulated list and an empty list.
* Message.Get always returns a valid Value even if unpopulated.
The behavior is already well-defined for scalars, but for unpopulated
composite types, it now returns an empty read-only version of it.
