reflect/protoreflect: change Options back to an interface{}

Introduce a protoreflect.OptionsMessage interface type to represent
options messages. The protoreflect package can't deal with concrete
options types, to avoid dependency cycles; OptionsMessage serves both
as documentation and a single point to define the constraints we apply
to options.

Change the constraints on options from ProtoMessage to interface{} to
permit use of option message types which only implement the v1
proto.Message interface.

This still leaves a requirement in the internal/legacy package that
options implement protoreflect.ProtoMessage, since that package now uses
the v2 Unmarshal.

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.
