reflect/prototype: add registration hooks for options

Add pseudo-hidden functions to register the concrete Go type used for
the optional types. Also, augment protoc-gen-go to specially generate the
descriptor proto to register these types.

This change does not add validation logic yet to ensure that the correct option
types are passed to the API.

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.
