encoding/jsonpb: update handling of Empty message type

The "custom" JSON representation for Empty is {}. And hence, when
embedded in Any, it needs to be represented as a field value in the
"value" field.

Discussion at https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/5390.

As of this CL, code currently handles marshaling of Empty embedded
in Any, but not unmarshaling of Any yet. I'd like to get this corrected
first in order to proceed with unmarshaling of Any.

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.
