ProtoContractAttribute is sealed #206

It would be useful to be able to inherit from it if the framework supported it. 
For example, I would like to create my own network communication library where 
the serialization mechanism is protobuf-net, and would like to decorate 
messages with my own attributes, which would inherit from yours and add 
specific metadata.

Options without needing change:

- use two sets of attributes rather than inheritance
- configure protobuf-net at runtime based on your attributes (everything can be 
specified at runtime in v2

For a few tricky reasons, this would not be entirely trivial to just un-seal
