PHP specific features

• __sleep and __wakeup method support.

You can use above magic methods when enabling UseWakeupAndSleep flag. Be careful, this feature is not part of protocolbuffers specification. these method will call when parseFromString and serializeToString (also supports ProtocolBuffers::decode and ProtocolBuffers::encode)

$phpoptions = $descriptor_builder->getOptions()->getExtension(ProtocolBuffers::PHP_MESSAGE_OPTION);
$phpoptions->setUseWakeupAndSleep(true); // default is off
$descriptor = $descriptor_builder->build();
