Using {} as an initializer fails on MSVC
Signed-off-by: Paolo Borelli <pborelli@gnome.org>

I've moved the guide to its own domain some time ago, fix the reference to avoid the redirects.

Remove a redundant test and add two large number test cases.

This change helps keep protobuf-c compatible with systems where int is
less than 4 bytes long. This change also makes left shifts more
consistent.

Fix a few casts where ints were cast to uints unnecessarily

Fixes #199. Previously, enums were treated as uint32's, but they need to
be treated as int32's instead.

t: Add a few test cases with negative enum values

Add support for multiple versions of GCC and clang by using a build
matrix. Switch Travis VM to be based on Ubuntu 14.04

Adds support for the LITE_RUNTIME optimization option to the protobuf-c
compiler. Enabling this option would generate lighter weight message,
enum, and service descriptors that contain NO strings. As a result,
calls to lookup descriptors via the *_get_{field,value,method}_by_name
API will return NULL.

Default compiler behavior (when optimize_for is not specified or is not
set to LITE_RUNTIME) is unchanged.

Certain protobuf comments could generate invalid C comments
and inadvertently close the comment block. This commit removes '/'
signs in such comments.

One example of a .proto file containing such comments is a commonly
included descriptor.proto from the protobuf library.
