Description

Despite the fact that the Flight.proto says the following:

> "schema of the dataset as described in Schema.fbs::Schema."

It implementations seem to use a fully serialized RecordBatch just with 0 rows for the schema byte fields in GetFlightInfo and GetSchema. So the Go implementation should follow suit.
