make it compile with gcc < 4.5.1

$ make Q= googlepb
g++ -O3 -std=c++98 -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wall -Wextra -Wpointer-arith -Wno-unused-private-field -I. -DNDEBUG   -c -o obj/upb/bindings/googlepb/bridge.o upb/bindings/googlepb/bridge.cc

./upb/def.h: In constructor ‘upb::Pointer<upb::Def>::Pointer(upb::Def*)’:
./upb/def.h:39: error: class ‘upb::Pointer<upb::Def>’ does not have any field named ‘PointerBase’
./upb/def.h:39: error: no matching function for call to ‘upb::PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted>::PointerBase()’
./upb/upb.h:246: note: candidates are: upb::PointerBase<T, Base>::PointerBase(T*) [with T = upb::Def, Base = upb::RefCounted]
./upb/upb.h:244: note:                 upb::PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted>::PointerBase(const upb::PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted>&)
...

the generated code looks like:

template <> class Pointer<upb::Def> : public PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted> {
    public: explicit Pointer(upb::Def* ptr) : PointerBase(ptr) {}
};
..

which falls into https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8887864/template-base-constructor-call-in-member-initialization-list-error)

changing the generated code to:
template <> class Pointer<upb::Def> : public PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted> {
    public: explicit Pointer(upb::Def* ptr) : PointerBase<upb::Def, upb::RefCounted>(ptr) {}
};
makes it compile at least on 4.4.7 that we are testing with:
$ gcc -v
