This rewrite had may backs and forths. In my git repository, it
consists of 35 commits which I cannot group or merge into reasonable
review buckets. Gerrit breaks fundamental git semantics, so I have to
squash the 35 commits into one for the review.
I'll push this not with refs/for/master, but with refs/for/next so
that we can transition after submission in a controlled fashion.
For the review, I recommend to start with looking at godoc and in
particular the many examples. After that, continue with a line-by-line
detailed review. (The big picture is hopefully as expected after
wrapping up the discussion earlier.)

This commit introduces an incomplete processor that decodes varint
record length-delimited streams of io.prometheus.client.MetricFamily
Protocol Buffer messages. The Go client presently does not support
generation of said messages, but this will unblock a number of Java
changes.
This commit introduces all relevant server-side artifacts such that the
Result streams can be used by external parties for one-off tools and
such. This will ultimately better enable us to support additional
wireformats with much more ease.
