To accommodate some downstream WebRTC users we need to loosen
the coupling between our code and the //third_party/protobuf.

This includes using typedefs to define strings instead of
assuming std::string.

After this refactoring it will be possible to link with other
protobuf implementations than the current one.

We moved the PRESUBMIT check to another CL [1]. The goal of this
presubmit is to avoid the direct usage of google::protobuf outside
of the webrtc/base/protobuf_utils.h header file.
