runtime/protoiface: use more efficient options representation

Change the representation of option flags in protoiface from bools to a
bitfield. This brings the representation of options in protoiface in
sync with that in internal/impl.

This change has several benefits:

1. We will probably find that we need to add more option flags over time.
Converting to the more efficient representation of these flags as high
in the call stack as possible minimizes the performance implication of
the struct growing.

2. On a similar note, this avoids the need to convert from the compact
representation to the larger one when passing from internal/impl to
proto, since the {Marshal,Unmarshal}State methods take the compact form.

3. This removes unused options from protoiface. Instead of documenting
that AllowPartial is always set, we can just not include an AllowPartial
flag in the protoiface options.

4. Conversely, this provides a way to add option flags to protoiface
that we don't want to expose in the proto package.

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.
