// protoPathIndex returns a path component for google.protobuf.descriptor.SourceCode_Location.
//
// Specifically, it returns an id as generated from descriptor proto which
// can be used to determine what type the id following it in the path is.
// For example, if we are trying to locate comments related to a field named
// `Address` in a message named `Person`, the path will be:
//
//     [4, a, 2, b]
//
// While `a` gets determined by the order in which the messages appear in
// the proto file, and `b` is the field index specified in the proto
// file itself, the path actually needs to specify that `a` refers to a
// message and not, say, a service; and  that `b` refers to a field and not
// an option.
//
// protoPathIndex figures out the values 4 and 2 in the above example. Because
// messages are top level objects, the value of 4 comes from field id for
// `MessageType` inside `google.protobuf.descriptor.FileDescriptor` message.
// This field has a message type `google.protobuf.descriptor.DescriptorProto`.
// And inside message `DescriptorProto`, there is a field named `Field` with id
// 2.
//
// Some code generators seem to be hardcoding these values; this method instead
// interprets them from `descriptor.proto`-derived Go source as necessary.
