internal/impl: support non-struct-pointer legacy message types

Support, to some limited degree, types which implement protoV1.Message
but which are not struct pointers. Our ability to work with these types
is largely limited to calling Marshal or Unmarshal methods, when
present.

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.
