Reconstitutes a Python protobuf class from a byte stream. The
intended purpose of this function is to create a Protobuf
Python class from a byte stream sent from another service. This
way, services can define arbitrary data types and send schemas
for those types to other services.

descriptor_proto_bytes: Serialized protocol buffer describing
a single class
Returns:
A Python class for the message encoded in
descriptor_proto_bytes.
