1. Add back the namespace_packages arg in setup.py. …

   Improves protocolbuffers#1296.
   
   The problem: in the previous patch, we tweaked the __init__.py files to use
   namespaces, but no longer declared ourselves as a namespace package. The
   second half was unwise.
   
   Note that this only comes up when installing protobuf alongside another
   package that also installs into the google namespace; as of right now, the
   only PyPI package that does is googleapis-common-protos, though the GAE SDK
   also uses google.appengine. Installing either or both of those alongside this
   package now works.
   
   The case that still remains is the upgrade path, which is also what worried me
   in protocolbuffers#713. It seems that if protobuf 2.6.1 is installed, there's no way to
   safely upgrade that to work with a newer protobuf. However, `pip uninstall` &&
   `pip install` does the trick.
