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.
