Protogen

We put in a lot of work to post-process the protobuf-generated files to meet our needs. This tool amalgamates all of that so we don't need to keep our various makefiles in sync.

This includes:

• rewriting generated String() methods for enums to be compatible with our old protos
• rewriting generated enums constants to remove the typename prefix that google/protobuf adds

protoc-gen-go-helpers

This tool generates various helper methods required for compatibility with Gogo/protobuf.

For structs we generate implementations of:

• Marshal()
• Unmarshal()
• Equal()
• Size()

For enumerated types we generate a FromString method that instantiates the enum from either the old PascalCase string we have always supported or the SCREAMING_SNAKE string generated by protojson.
