Update protobuf library from 2.3 to 2.6.

Copied in all files from the open source protobuf project at commit
edc5994525c79cd1919859a370837a6ff7c8e308, removing files which have
been renamed (COPYING.txt -> LICENSE, README.txt -> README.md).

Removed 2.3 prebuilts, which is an approach that will not work due to
incompatibility with the 2.6 runtime.

Merged in micro/nano-specific changes in the following files:

-Android.mk - updated list of C++/Java sources, bumped versions
-java/README.txt - merged in micro/nano instructions, bumped versions
-java/pom.xml - merged in micro/nano build rules, set packaging to jar
-src/Makefile.am - merged in references to micro/nano generators
-src/google/protobuf/compiler/javamicro/javamicro_file.h - imported
 google/protobuf/compiler/code_generator.h and removed redundant
 OutputDirectory class.
-src/google/protobuf/compiler/javanano/javanano_file.h - same
-Replaced instances of vector with std::vector as needed to get
 libprotobuf-cpp-full to compile. Plan to upstream this fix per
 discussion with protobuf maintainers.

Reran autogen.sh to update ./configure and associated scripts.

-2009-01-08 version 2.3.0:
+2014-08-15 version 2.6.0:
+
+  General
+  * Added oneofs(unions) feature. Fields in the same oneof will share
+    memory and at most one field can be set at the same time. Use the
+    oneof keyword to define a oneof like:
+      message SampleMessage {
+        oneof test_oneof {
+          string name = 4;
+          YourMessage sub_message = 9;
+        }
+      }
+  * Files, services, enums, messages, methods and enum values can be marked
+    as deprecated now.
+  * Added Support for list values, including lists of mesaages, when
+    parsing text-formatted protos in C++ and Java.
+      For example:  foo: [1, 2, 3]
+
+  C++
+  * Enhanced customization on TestFormat printing.
+  * Added SwapFields() in reflection API to swap a subset of fields.
+    Added SetAllocatedMessage() in reflection API.
+  * Repeated primitive extensions are now packable. The
+    [packed=true] option only affects serializers. Therefore, it is
+    possible to switch a repeated extension field to packed format
+    without breaking backwards-compatibility.
+  * Various speed optimizations.
+
+  Java
+  * writeTo() method in ByteString can now write a substring to an
+    output stream. Added endWith() method for ByteString.
+  * ByteString and ByteBuffer are now supported in CodedInputStream
+    and CodedOutputStream.
+  * java_generate_equals_and_hash can now be used with the LITE_RUNTIME.
+
+  Python
+  * A new C++-backed extension module (aka "cpp api v2") that replaces the
+    old ("cpp api v1") one.  Much faster than the pure Python code.  This one
+    resolves many bugs and is recommended for general use over the
+    pure Python when possible.
+  * Descriptors now have enum_types_by_name and extension_types_by_name dict
+    attributes.
+  * Support for Python 3.
+
+2013-02-27 version 2.5.0:
+
+  General
+  * New notion "import public" that allows a proto file to forward the content
+    it imports to its importers. For example,
+      // foo.proto
+      import public "bar.proto";
+      import "baz.proto";
+
+      // qux.proto
+      import "foo.proto";
+      // Stuff defined in bar.proto may be used in this file, but stuff from
+      // baz.proto may NOT be used without importing it explicitly.
+    This is useful for moving proto files. To move a proto file, just leave
+    a single "import public" in the old proto file.
+  * New enum option "allow_alias" that specifies whether different symbols can
+    be assigned the same numeric value. Default value is "true". Setting it to
+    false causes the compiler to reject enum definitions where multiple symbols
+    have the same numeric value.
+    Note: We plan to flip the default value to "false" in a future release.
+    Projects using enum aliases should set the option to "true" in their .proto
+    files.
+
+  C++
+  * New generated method set_allocated_foo(Type* foo) for message and string
+    fields. This method allows you to set the field to a pre-allocated object
+    and the containing message takes the ownership of that object.
+  * Added SetAllocatedExtension() and ReleaseExtension() to extensions API.
+  * Custom options are now formatted correctly when descriptors are printed in
+    text format.
+  * Various speed optimizations.
+
+  Java
+  * Comments in proto files are now collected and put into generated code as
+    comments for corresponding classes and data members.
+  * Added Parser to parse directly into messages without a Builder. For
+    example,
+      Foo foo = Foo.PARSER.ParseFrom(input);
+    Using Parser is ~25% faster than using Builder to parse messages.
+  * Added getters/setters to access the underlying ByteString of a string field
+    directly.
+  * ByteString now supports more operations: substring(), prepend(), and
+    append(). The implementation of ByteString uses a binary tree structure
+    to support these operations efficiently.
+  * New method findInitializationErrors() that lists all missing required
+    fields.
+  * Various code size and speed optimizations.
+
+  Python
+  * Added support for dynamic message creation. DescriptorDatabase,
+    DescriptorPool, and MessageFactory work like their C++ couterparts to
+    simplify Descriptor construction from *DescriptorProtos, and MessageFactory
+    provides a message instance from a Descriptor.
+  * Added pickle support for protobuf messages.
+  * Unknown fields are now preserved after parsing.
+  * Fixed bug where custom options were not correctly populated. Custom
+    options can be accessed now.
+  * Added EnumTypeWrapper that provides better accessibility to enum types.
+  * Added ParseMessage(descriptor, bytes) to generate a new Message instance
+    from a descriptor and a byte string.
+
+2011-05-01 version 2.4.1:
+
+  C++
+  * Fixed the frendship problem for old compilers to make the library now gcc 3
+    compatible again.
+  * Fixed vcprojects/extract_includes.bat to extract compiler/plugin.h.
+
+  Java
+  * Removed usages of JDK 1.6 only features to make the library now JDK 1.5
+    compatible again.
+  * Fixed a bug about negative enum values.
+  * serialVersionUID is now defined in generated messages for java serializing.
+  * Fixed protoc to use java.lang.Object, which makes "Object" now a valid
+    message name again.
+
+  Python
+  * Experimental C++ implementation now requires C++ protobuf library installed.
+    See the README.txt in the python directory for details.
+
+2011-02-02 version 2.4.0:
+
+  General
+  * The RPC (cc|java|py)_generic_services default value is now false instead of
+    true.
+  * Custom options can have aggregate types. For example,
+      message MyOption {
+        optional string comment = 1;
+        optional string author = 2;
+      }
+      extend google.protobuf.FieldOptions {
+        optional MyOption myoption = 12345;
+      }
+    This option can now be set as follows:
+      message SomeType {
+        optional int32 field = 1 [(myoption) = { comment:'x' author:'y' }];
+      }
+
+  C++
+  * Various speed and code size optimizations.
+  * Added a release_foo() method on string and message fields.
+  * Fixed gzip_output_stream sub-stream handling.
+
+  Java
+  * Builders now maintain sub-builders for sub-messages. Use getFooBuilder() to
+    get the builder for the sub-message "foo". This allows you to repeatedly
+    modify deeply-nested sub-messages without rebuilding them.
+  * Builder.build() no longer invalidates the Builder for generated messages
+    (You may continue to modify it and then build another message).
+  * Code generator will generate efficient equals() and hashCode()
+    implementations if new option java_generate_equals_and_hash is enabled.
+    (Otherwise, reflection-based implementations are used.)
+  * Generated messages now implement Serializable.
+  * Fields with [deprecated=true] will be marked with @Deprecated in Java.
+  * Added lazy conversion of UTF-8 encoded strings to String objects to improve
+    performance.
+  * Various optimizations.
+  * Enum value can be accessed directly, instead of calling getNumber() on the
+    enum member.
+  * For each enum value, an integer constant is also generated with the suffix
+    _VALUE.
+
+  Python
+  * Added an experimental  C++ implementation for Python messages via a Python
+    extension. Implementation type is controlled by an environment variable
+    PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION (valid values: "cpp" and "python")
+    The default value is currently "python" but will be changed to "cpp" in
+    future release.
+  * Improved performance on message instantiation significantly.
+    Most of the work on message instantiation is done just once per message
+    class, instead of once per message instance.
+  * Improved performance on text message parsing.
+  * Allow add() to forward keyword arguments to the concrete class.
+      E.g. instead of
+        item = repeated_field.add()
+        item.foo = bar
+        item.baz = quux
+      You can do:
+        repeated_field.add(foo=bar, baz=quux)
+  * Added a sort() interface to the BaseContainer.
+  * Added an extend() method to repeated composite fields.
+  * Added UTF8 debug string support.
+
+2010-01-08 version 2.3.0:
 
   General
   * Parsers for repeated numeric fields now always accept both packed and
