This is easier to type and follows the naming of Pose2d::Nearest().
Since Ellipse2d and Rectangle2d were added for the 2025 season, we don't
need to add deprecation notices.
The Google C++ protobuf implementation has issues with dynamic linkage across DLL boundaries because it uses global variables. It also has a compile-time dependency because the protoc version must exactly match the libprotobuf version. Using nanopb with a customized generator fixes both of these issues.

Splitting the files didn't help readability or save compilation time and
it confused contributors. Merging them is also in line with how C++
modules will be written.
This makes it easier to define schemas when the type name is non-trivial (e.g., templated structs).
This is breaking for a) custom struct implementations and b) anything calling `wpi::Struct<T>::GetTypeString(info...)` in C++ directly. In both cases, it's a simple translation: For A, rename `GetTypeString()` to `GetTypeName()` and remove the struct: at the beginning, and for B, use `wpi::GetStructTypeString<T>(info...)` instead.
This required changing the constant values (e.g. kSize) into functions
(e.g. GetSize()).
Fixed implementations of ForEachNested to be inline (as these are actually
templates).
Also added a ntcore Struct test.
This adds support for two serialization formats for complex data types:
- Protobuf for complex objects with variable length internals that need forward and backward wire compatibility (lower speed, more flexible)
- Raw struct (ByteBuffer-style) for fixed-length objects (higher speed, less flexible)
Deserialization can be done either by creating a new object (for immutable objects) or overwriting the contents of an existing object (for mutable objects).
Implementing classes should provide inner classes that implement the Protobuf or Struct interface (in Java) or specialize the wpi::Protobuf or wpi::Struct struct (in C++). It is possible for classes to implement both. If the class itself does not implement serialization, it's possible for third parties/users to provide an implementation instead.
Uses the Google protobuf implementation for C++ and the QuickBuffers alternative protobuf implementation for Java.
Adds overloads for Transform2d() constructor to accept x, y, and heading and for Transform3d() to accept x, y, z and rotation as a shorthand for the normal constructors.
This avoids allocation overhead on construction. times() was also
rewritten to not allocate any temporary objects.
Getter calls in the C++ Quaternion class were modified for parity.
