Lite already worked by using the protobuf project, but would bring in
extra dependencies that are not intended to work with lite. Although
protobuf is not yet providing a lite package on Maven Central, we will
be able to swap to it once it is available.
There isn't any new original code in the Java portion, except for a new
overload in ProtoUtils that accepts Message instead of MessageLite.
Depending on Message in ProtoUtils allows us to support extra features
out-of-the-box without any changes to the generated code. For example,
JSON encoding could be supported in this way if Marshaller is enhanced.
However, now codegen must be aware of Lite in order to choose with Util
class to use. That is new code.
In-memory transport provides back the same input stream that was
provided, so if we notice our own object simply avoid serializing.
DeferredProtoInputStream is made package-private because 1) it doesn't
seem we need it to be public and 2) the change depends on it being
package-private so the constructor can be changed.
- Rename flushTo() to drainTo().
- Remove flushTo() from DeferredNanoProtoInputStream (which is renamed
to NanoProtoInputStream), because the optimization is not implemented.
- Rename DeferredProtoInputStream to ProtoInputStream.

io.grpc.nano sort of seems like a "small" version of grpc-java. And
io.grpc.proto could also mean multiple things. Using "protobuf"
and "protobuf nano" gets us consistent names that are still
understandable, predictable, and more similar to protobuf project
itself.
