reflect/protoreflect: clarify Mutable semantics

The Mutable semantics are simpler than currently documented. In an older design
of the protobuf reflection API, it was intended that there could be a mutable
version of the scalar kinds. However, support for this has been dropped,
simplifying the documented semantics.

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.
