First attempt at using profile 259 for Google.Protobuf.

This requires .NET 4.5, and there are a few compatibility changes required around reflection.
Creating a PR from this to see how our CI systems handle it. Will want to add more documentation,
validation and probably tests before merging.

This is in aid of issue #590.
