An opaque struct that represents the current parsing state and is passed along
as the parsing proceeds.
All the public methods are intended to be invoked only by the generated code,
users should never invoke them directly.
The next field tag, or 0 for end of input. (0 is never a valid tag.)
Remarks
If this method returns 0, it doesn't necessarily mean the end of all
the data in this CodedInputReader; it may be the end of the logical input
for an embedded message, for example.
