Add support for generation sources into a framework.
- Add a protoc objc option (generate_for_named_framework) to set the name of
the framework all generated sources will be in.
- Tweak some comments/naming to make it clear what is the Protobuf framework
vs. the framework for generated code.
- Update the objc README to document the new generation option to protoc.
This is working towards https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/1457.

+Objective C Generator `protoc` Options
+--------------------------------------
+
+When generating Objective C code, `protoc` supports a `--objc_opt` argument; the
+argument is comma-delimited name/value pairs (_key=value,key2=value2_). The
+_keys_ are used to change the behavior during generation. The currently
+supported keys are:
+
+ * `generate_for_framework_named`: The `value` used for this key will be used
+ when generating the `#import` statements in the generated code. Instead
+ of being plain `#import "some/path/file.pbobjc.h"` lines, they will be
+ framework based, i.e. - `#import <VALUE/file.pbobjc.h>`.
