upb_stream: all callbacks registered ahead-of-time.
This is a significant change to the upb_stream protocol, and should hopefully be the last significant change. All callbacks are now registered ahead-of-time instead of having delegated callbacks registered at runtime, which makes it much easier to aggressively optimize ahead-of-time (like with a JIT). Other impacts of this change: - You no longer need to have loaded descriptor.proto as a upb_def to load other descriptors! This means the special-case code we used for bootstrapping is no longer necessary, and we no longer need to link the descriptor for descriptor.proto into upb. - A client can now register any upb_value as what will be delivered to their value callback, not just a upb_fielddef*. This should allow for other clients to get more bang out of the streaming decoder. This change unfortunately causes a bit of a performance regression -- I think largely due to highly suboptimal code that GCC generates when structs are returned by value. See: http://blog.reverberate.org/2011/03/19/when-a-compilers-slow-code-actually-bites-you/ On the other hand, once we have a JIT this should no longer matter.
