The protobuf project removed "using namespace std" namespace pollution
from their stubs/common.h header file. This caused build failures for us
since we relied on their namespace pollution.
This commit updates protobuf-c to convert:
'map' → 'std::map'
'set' → 'std::set'
'back_insert_iterator' → 'std::back_insert_iterator'
The spec talks about "empty string" and other languages like C#
return a zero length string and not null.
This is useful because when moving from proto2's "required string"
to a proto3's plain string we will be guaranteed that we
never get a null pointer.
The tradeoff is adding a special case to the library but avoiding
a lot of null checks in the calling code.
The current code is already special casing "" in pack_string.
per https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/source/detail?r=50, the license
on google-originated protobuf code was switched from Apache-2.0 to
BSD-3-Clause (so-called "New BSD" license). update any of the google
license statements to use this new license.
per email with dave, drop the third clause on his BSD-3-Clause license,
so this now becomes BSD-2-Clause.
make sure to use consistent indentation and wrapping throughout.
