Protobuf packages and namespaces

[kjvalencik]

Packages and message namespaces are flattened when reading. This makes it impossible to parse a fully qualified path that is functional in other language bindings. For example:

syntax = "proto3";
package Foo.Enums;

enum E {
    A = 0;
    B = 1;
}

syntax = "proto3";
package Foo.Bar;

message Envelope {
    .Foo.Enums.E enum = 1;
}
