Extra information provided by generated code when initializing a message or file descriptor.
These are constructed as required, and are not long-lived. Hand-written code should
never need to use this type.
Creates a GeneratedClrTypeInfo for a message descriptor, with nested types, nested enums, the CLR type, property names and oneof names.
Each array parameter may be null, to indicate a lack of values.
The parameter order is designed to make it feasible to format the generated code readably.

public GeneratedClrTypeInfo[] NestedTypes { get; }
The reflection information for types within this file/message descriptor. Elements may be null
if there is no corresponding generated type, e.g. for map entry types.
Irrelevant for file descriptors; the CLR property "base" names (in message descriptor oneof order)
for oneofs in the message for message descriptors. It is expected that for a oneof name of "Foo",
there will be a "FooCase" property and a "ClearFoo" method.
