Release Note

This issue adds a patch to our checked in internal, shaded protobuf, but it also adds a general means of apply patches to our version of protobuf. Patches found in the new src/main/patches directory are all applied as the last task when you run a build with the -Pcompile-protobuf profile under the hbase-protocol-shaded module. This commit also includes our first patch to protobuf; it adds ByteInput to mimic pb3.1's ByteOutput (src/main/patches/HBASE-15789_V2.patch attached here).

Description

This is an issue to brainstorm. Whether we go with pb 2.x or pb 3.0 and also depends on the shading of protobuf classes.
We should also decide if we are going to fork the PB classes.
