cmd/protoc-gen-go: reduce technical debt

The following TODOs were addressed:
* Consistently collect all enums, messages, and extensions in a breadth-first order.
The practical affect of this is that the declaration order in a Go file may change.
This simplifies reflection generation, which relies on consistent ordering.
* Removal of placeholder declarations (e.g., "var _ = proto.Marshal") since
protogen is intelligent about including imports as necessary.
* Always generate a default variable or constant for explicit empty strings.
The practical effect of this is the addition of new declarations in some cases.
However, it simplifies our logic such that it matches the protobuf data model.
* Generate the registration statements in a consistent order.

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.
