proto: add benchmark using protobuf repo test data

The primary (cross-language) protobuf repository contains benchmark data
sets. Add benchmarks using this data. (A version of this benchmark exists
in the protobuf repository, but it uses the v1 API and isn't trivial to
get working.)

Fetch the small benchmark datasets from the
github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf repo by default. Add a
download_benchdata.bash script which fetches the larger datasets as
well.

Generate necessary packages under internal/testprotos/benchmarks.

To run:

  go run ./proto -bench=BenchmarkData

Usual caveats about benchmarking apply: While these benchmarks use
realistic data, isolated microbenchmarking of proto operations is not
necessarily representitive of performance in production systems.

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.
