Also includes an implementation of the conformance tests
to display what the API usage will be like.
There is still a lot to do, and things that are broken (oneofs,
repeated fields, etc), but it's a good start.

It is entirely optional: MessageDef/EnumDef can still exist
on their own. But this can represent a def's file when it is
desirable to do so (eg. for code generators).
This approach will require that we change the way we handle
extensions. But I think it will be a good change overall.
Specifically, we previously handled extensions by duplicating
the extended message and then adding the extension as a regular
field to the duplicated message. This required also duplicating
any messages that could reach the extended message.
In the new world we will need a way of declaring and looking up
extensions separately from the message being extended.
This change also involves some notable changes to the generated
code:
- files are now called foo.upbdefs.h instead of foo.upb.h.
This reflects the fact that we might possibly generate several
different output files for a .proto file, and this one is just
for defs.
- we no longer generate selectors in the .h file.
- the upbdefs.c no longer vends a SymbolTable. Now it vends the
individual messages (and possibly a FileDef later). I think this
will compose better once we can generate files where one
generated files imports another.
We also make the descriptor reader vend a list of FileDefs now.
This is the best conceptual match for parsing a FileDescriptorSet.

This change has several parts:
1. Resurrected tools/upbc. The code was all there but the build was
broken for open-source. Now you can type "make tools/upbc" and
it will build all necessary Lua modules and create a robust shell
script for running upbc.
2. Changed Lua module loading to no longer rely on OS-level .so
dependencies. The net effect of this is that you now only need
to set LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH; setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or rpaths
is no longer required. Downside: this drops compatibility with
Lua 5.1, since it depends on a feature that only exists in Lua >=5.2
(and LuaJIT).
3. Since upbc works again, I fixed the re-generation of the descriptor
files (descriptor.upb.h, descriptor.upb.c). "make genfiles" will
re-generate these as well as the JIT code generator.
4. Added a Travis test target that ensures that the checked-in generated
files are not out of date. I would do this for the Ragel generated
file also, but we can't count on all versions of Ragel to necessarily
generate identical output.
5. Changed Makefile to no longer automatically run Ragel to regenerate
the JSON parser. This is unfortuante, because it's convenient when
you're developing the JSON parser. However, "git clone" sometimes
skews the timestamps a little bit so that "make" thinks it needs to
regenerate these files for a fresh "git clone." This would normally
be harmless, but if the user doesn't have Ragel installed, it makes
the build fail completely. So now you have to explicitly regenerate
the Ragel output. If you want to you can uncomment the auto-generation
during development.

Many things have changed and been simplified.
The memory-management story for upb_def and upb_handlers
is much more robust; upb_def and upb_handlers should be
fairly stable interfaces now. There is still much work
to do for the runtime component (upb_sink).
