internal/fileinit: prevent map entry descriptors from implementing MessageType

The protobuf type system hacks the representation of map entries into that
of a pseudo-message descriptor.

Previously, we made all message descriptors implement MessageType
where type descriptors had a GoType method that simply returned nil.
Unfortunately, this violates a nice property in the Go type system
where being able to assert to a MessageType guarantees that Go type
information is truly associated with that descriptor.

This CL makes it such that message descriptors for map entries
do not implement MessageType.

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.
