Allow ByteString to implement Comparable

[belugabehr]

What language does this apply to?

If it's about generated code change, what programming language? Java

Describe the problem you are trying to solve.

Use Guava Range/TreeRangeMap with Proto ByteString

Describe the solution you'd like

Make ByteString implement Java Comparable. The natural sorted order should be using the already provided unsignedLexicographicalComparator.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Wrapping ByteString in another object, having Guava Range accept a Comparator,....

ConcurrentSkipListMap<>(UnsignedByteBufComparator.INSTANCE)

Seems reasonable. This would require a Tier 2 review.
