Instead of fetching dependencies by default, we will first look for a local installation and only fetch as a fallback. Two new options are added for forcing either of these behaviors. protobuf_FORCE_FETCH_DEPENDENCIES will always fetch dependencies, and protobuf_PREVENT_FETCH_DEPENDENCIES will never do so.

This flips the default behavior to "fetch", downloading local copies of required dependencies. This can be disabled by setting `-Dprotobuf_FETCH_DEPENDENCIES=OFF`, in which case we will look for a local installation using find_package. Setting `-Dprotobuf_ABSL_PROVIDER=package` will continue to have the same behavior as before.
See https://protobuf.dev/news/2024-10-02/#replace-cmake-submods for more details.
#test-continuous
PiperOrigin-RevId: 686649864
This ports upb's WORKSPACE scraping logic to protobuf, and allows us to dynamically fetch our dependencies at the exact same pinned version as in Bazel via protobuf_FETCH_DEPENDENCIES=ON. This is mostly for development purposes, and is preferable to git submodules. In a later cl we will flip the default behavior to "package"

Unlike Arena::CreateMessage, Arena::Create creates only the top level object
from arena even if it is arena constructalble; e.g. messages, RepeatedPtrField,
etc. This renders arenas less effective.
Instead of asking users to be aware of such nuances to use the right API for
the right type, this CL makes Arena::Create recognizes and fully supports arena
constructable types.
While extremly rare, some users try to emulate Arena::CreateMessage with
Arena::Create by passing arena parameter twice. For example,
```
auto foo = Arena::Create<Foo>(&arena, &arena); // bad
```
This pattern is not supported and will break after this change. The following
is recommended instead.
```
auto foo = Arena::CreateMessage<Foo>(&arena); // recommended
auto foo = Arena::Create<Foo>(&arena); // after this change
```

This additional if is necessary as of abseil 20230125.3 when abseil is consumed via add_subdirectory,
the abseil_dll target is named abseil_dll, while if abseil is consumed via find_package, the target is called `absl::abseil_dll` .
Once https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/pull/1466 is merged and released in the minimum version of abseil required by protobuf, it is possible to always link `absl::abseil_dll` and `absl::abseil_test_dll` and remove the if.
You may wonder how linking worked at all before when `protobuf_ABSL_PROVIDER STREQUAL "package"`, as `abseil_dll` was not an imported target defined by `find_package(absl)`. The reason behind this is that if a name that is not an imported target is passed to `target_link_libraries`, it is just regarded as a C++ library name. So, in the end the `abseil_dll` library was correctly linked, simply all the transitive usage requirements defined by the `absl::abseil_dll` target were not propagated, that could lead to compilation errors if abseil was compiled with the `ABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD` CMake option enabled.
Closes#12978

This deletes our old branches of internal Abseil code in favor of their newly open-sourced library. Notably, this removes the ability to turn CHECK crashes into exceptions.

This cl hit an issue during the shared library cmake build from ODR violations, leading to mismatched absl hash seeds. The problem was pre-existing but didn't manifest until now, and can be traced to the fact that in shared library builds we linked Abseil statically. All of the cmake changes here remove the underlying ODR violation.
