internal/impl: support legacy unknown fields

Add wrapper data structures to get legacy XXX_unrecognized fields to support
the new protoreflect.UnknownFields interface. This is a challenge since the
field is a []byte, which does not give us much flexibility to work with
in terms of choice of data structures.

This implementation is relatively naive where every operation is O(n) since
it needs to strip through the entire []byte each time. The Range operation
operates slightly differently from ranging over Go maps since it presents a
stale version of RawFields should a mutation occur while ranging.
This distinction is unlikely to affect anyone in practice.

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.
