Notable changes
New features:
- CL/234937: all: move well-known types

Centralized host for all well-known types
This release moves the generation of well-known types (e.g., FieldMask) into this module. Previously, some of the well-known types were generated into the google.golang.org/genproto module. This sets the stage for a future release of this module to provide first-class support for the well-known types.
As a consequence of this migration, this module incurs a weak dependency on the google.golang.org/genproto module. This dependency may be dropped in the distant future, but it will persist for some time to ensure that users of this module use a sufficiently new version of google.golang.org/genproto (if they happen to depend on it) so as to avoid duplicate registration problems with regard to the well-known types.
