proto, internal/protobuild: add test proto template builder

The proto package tests often test several variations of messages with a
similar shape. For example, most tests are performed with a proto2
message with a regular field, a proto2 message with an extension field,
and a proto3 message.

Add a protobuild package which can initialize all these variations from
a single template. For example, these three messages:

	&testpb.TestAllTypes{OptionalInt32: proto.Int32(1)}

	&test3pb.TestAllTypes{OptionalInt32: 1}

	m := &testpb.TestAllExtensions{}
	proto.SetExtension(m, &testpb.E_OptionalInt32, 1)

can all be constructed from the template:

	protobuild.Message{"optional_int32": 1}

This reduces redundancy in tests and will make it more practical to
test alternative code generators.

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.
