    Add back the namespace_packages arg in setup.py. · 0e7c0c2f

    Improves #1296.
    
    The problem: in the previous patch, we tweaked the __init__.py files to use
    namespaces, but no longer declared ourselves as a namespace package. The
    second half was unwise.
    
    Note that this only comes up when installing protobuf alongside another
    package that also installs into the google namespace; as of right now, the
    only PyPI package that does is googleapis-common-protos, though the GAE SDK
    also uses google.appengine. Installing either or both of those alongside this
    package now works.
    
    The case that still remains is the upgrade path, which is also what worried me
    in #713. It seems that if protobuf 2.6.1 is installed, there's no way to
    safely upgrade that to work with a newer protobuf. However, `pip uninstall` &&
    `pip install` does the trick.
