This method merges the contents of the specified message into the
current message. Singular fields that are set in the specified message
overwrite the corresponding fields in the current message.  Repeated
fields are appended. Map fields key-value pairs are overritten.
Singular/Oneof sub-messages are recursively merged. All overritten
sub-messages are deep-copied.

Removed log statement from writer_test.js

This tweak makes the test output a bit easier to read because it cuts
out a lot of unnecessary logging.

Remove the use of C++11 features.

Fix links to the license in meta-data

There might be duplicated enum values when allow_alias is true. Add PreferredAlias into OriginalNameAttribute to remove the duplication (#2727)

The first is the newer name, which is also more telling.

The "New BSD License" is the "3-Clause BSD License", but the links were
pointing to the "2-Clause BSD License".

Disable MSVC warning C4309

Fix unresolved symbols with MSVC12 and /Zc:inline

Speed up JSON parsing.

Add GPBMessageDropUnknownFieldsRecursively() and tests.

GPBMessageDropUnknownFieldsRecursively() is a new helper to drop the
unknownFields from a message and all sub messages (in fields or extensions).

- Adding more detail on running tests
- Adding info about the status of .NET 3.5 support and how to enable .NET 3.5

NUnit 3.4.0 —> 3.6.0
dotnet-test-nunit 3.4.0-alpha-2 —> 3.4.0-beta-3

* Changing DOTNET35 framework symbols in preprocessor directives to the default built-in value of NET35.
* Adding extension method StreamExtension.CopyTo for .NET 3.5 because it didn’t exist until .NET 4, and adding associated unit tests.

Dedent URL so it renders as a link and not as code (fixed width font and not clickable).

> warning C4309: static_cast': truncation of constant value

In #726 and #813, linking errors with MSVC14 were resolved. The change in
MSVC12 leading to these errors was not a newly introduced bug, but that
/Zc:inline was made on by default. This option is also available with MSVC12,
so the workaround should be applied for it too.

Merge #2653, #2622, #2579, #2652

This allows more compact comparisons (1 byte instead of 4 byte
immediates on x86) for each possible wire/tag inside each field.

rvalue setters for scalar string fields were added in #2506.

Inline branch-less VarintSize32/VarintSize64 implementations.

Avoid aliasing CodedInputStream::buffer_ when parsing little endian integers

--[name]_opt support depended on the plugin being register, and didn't support
working with just --[name]_out directive (where the plugin is found via the
users PATH. This extends the command line handing to allow --[name]_out to
be all it takes for the _opt directive to also be supported.
