Description

Currently Kotlin compiler generates an extension file per package in order to enhance TProcotol.java and have a clean generated file. The extension methods are inline only so no impact on the runtime but these methods can further be helpful for Java libraries.

We can improve the TProtocol.java by incorporating these methods, and also clean up the code a bit by splitting into read and write interfaces.
