Buffa wires shared descriptor pools, cuts codegen token blow-up

Buffa's shared descriptor pool mechanism now spans codegen and build, while a new warning catches ungenerated type references.

The shared_descriptor_pool work lands its second and third crates: the plugin path wires the mechanism through codegen [1], and `buffa_build::Config::shared_descriptor_pool(bool)` makes build.rs emit the full-closure `FileDescriptorSet` as a binary sidecar via `include_bytes!` [2]. Land #369 before #370, since the plugin's rejection messages point users to buffa-build for unsupported combinations. Separately, a new `CodeGenWarning::ExcludedPackageFieldRef` flags fields referencing types that are ungenerated or unmapped, with type-granular detection that skips generated types in partially-generated packages [3]. Codegen also switches `FILE_DESCRIPTOR_SET_BYTES` from per-byte integer literals to a byte-string literal, cutting token generation during emission [4]. Finally, JSON serialization now handles message-valued oneof variants with custom `ProtoBox` types by serializing the pointee, and removes the workaround `Serialize` impl from the example [5].
