i'm confused as to why these fields exist, since the typical
implementation of a "temporary alloc" would be something like alloca(),
and alloca() is usually just inlined code that adjusts the stack
pointer, which is not a function whose address could be taken.
this breaks the API/ABI and will require a note in the ChangeLog.
possibly we could revisit the idea of "temporary allocations" by using
C99 variable length arrays. this would have the advantage of being
standardized, unlike alloca().

this option is only supported by the upstream protobuf compiler starting
with version 2.5.0. this version is not yet widely available in the
debian/ubuntu repositories, and we would like to avoid breaking the
build on those platforms with the distribution version of protobuf
installed, so revert the following commits:
