protobuf: Update protobuf to @laszlocsomor's master at commit 421d909.

Update protobuf to @laszlocsomor's fork of protobuf. This is essentially
the development version of protobuf 3.2.0 and windows specific fixes
from laszlo. Those fixes will be merged into protobuf soon:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/pull/2969).

+# Protocol Buffers Benchmarks
+
+This directory contains benchmarking schemas and data sets that you
+can use to test a variety of performance scenarios against your
+protobuf language runtime.
+
+The schema for the datasets is described in `benchmarks.proto`.
+
+Generate the data sets like so:
+
+```
+$ make
+$ ./generate-datasets
+Wrote dataset: dataset.google_message1_proto3.pb
+Wrote dataset: dataset.google_message1_proto2.pb
+Wrote dataset: dataset.google_message2.pb
+$
+```
+
+Each data set will be written to its own file.  Benchmarks will
+likely want to run several benchmarks against each data set (parse,
+serialize, possibly JSON, possibly using different APIs, etc).
+
+We would like to add more data sets.  In general we will favor data sets
+that make the overall suite diverse without being too large or having
+too many similar tests.  Ideally everyone can run through the entire
+suite without the test run getting too long.
