internal/impl: handle some dynamic legacy messages

When creating a MessageDescriptor for a legacy message with a
Descriptor method, we call that method on the type's zero value to
get the message's DescriptorProto. Some existing dynamic message
types have a Descriptor method which panics in this case.

Catch the panic and continue as if the Descriptor method wasn't present.
