Preserve features in type resolver
While we previously preserved unresolved features set directly on message and enum types and the edition specified in the file, and features set at the file or nesting scopes were discarded. This throws away important semantic information, resulting in incorrect Type and Enum objects under editions.
This change solves the problem by partially resolving features down to the scope returned. Users will still need to figure out the defaults for each edition on their own, but these can now be converted back into descriptors and built correctly.
