Fix path processing

[fmaksim74]

Redundant check of "self" variable breaks search path processing. It create new instance of Parser and discards all paths added with "addpath" method.

this behavior is on purpose.

Someone may use require "protoc":load [[...]] to load a protobuf schema into pb module. But that is only permitted in demo usage. Because in this case the table version of schema may get stuck in memory forever. So a commit added at https://github.com/starwing/lua-protobuf/commit/cb977e421e1e70a61a278e9f93e00e2e2b940f94 to force use proto.new() if anyone wants load schema multiple times. The parser created by protoc:load() usage will drop immediately.

I checked this case:

print(require "protoc":load([[
   message Phone {
      optional string name        = 1;
      optional int64  phonenumber = 2;
   }
   message Person {
      optional string name     = 1;
      optional int32  age      = 2;
      optional string address  = 3;
      repeated Phone  contacts = 4;
   } ]]))

it works fine. require "protoc" returns valid pointer to Parser.

Yes, but this example means the Phone/Person tables are anchored to Lua memory and can not collect i.e. the memory leak. and it prevent you hotfix the message (you can not load the same name of message again):

print(require "protoc":load([[
   message Phone {
      optional string name        = 1;
      optional int64  phonenumber = 2;
   }
   message Person {
      optional string name     = 1;
      optional int32  age      = 2;
      optional string address  = 3;
      repeated Phone  contacts = 4;
   } ]]))
print(require "protoc":load([[
   message Phone {
      optional string name        = 1;
      optional int64  phonenumber = 2;
   }
   message Person {
      optional string name     = 1;
      optional int32  age      = 2;
      optional string address  = 3;
      repeated Phone  contacts = 4;
   } ]]))
