Support for using Json/Xml formats with ICodedInputStream

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Currently the format input readers for xml and json do not allow manually 
reading the start of the root object.  Due to this, you can not keep the format 
hidden from the method/object reading the message.

This comes into play when using the IRpcServerStub's CallMethod API, as well as 
other places.

Required additions:

Both of these readers need the ability to explicitly read the root object 
preamble.  In addition it would be nice to have writers also implement this 
behavior for the same reasons.

Sorry there is a lot of files churned here as I was testing the 
publishing/versioning and accidentally committed with the new version.  I've 
reverted the change but it adds a lot of clutter to the change-log.  You should 
get a fairly clear idea of the impact if you stick to the changes on this 
revision:
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-csharp-port/source/detail?r=c23074a594fa432470

The real goal here is just being able to do something simple like this:
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-csharp-port/source/browse/src/ProtocolBuffers.
Serialization/Http/ServiceExtensions.cs?name=issue-24

Fix pending review:
