### Search before reporting - [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Motivation Pulsar's protobuf schema options are dependent on `GeneratedMessageV3`, which is [deprecated](https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java/4.28.0-RC1/com/google/protobuf/GeneratedMessageV3.html) and will be fully removed in version 5.x of the runtimes. Gencode >v4.x creates classes that extend `GeneratedMessage` instead, meaning anyone using the protobuf schema options are currently locked out of updating their gencode past v3.x, which will cease getting new updates this year. If there is already an option I'm unaware of that enables the use of the newer gencode, please let me know. Marking this as not similar to #24388 as that only discusses a solution for the runtime upgrade and not the gencode. Thank you in advance! ### Solution Add a topic schema option that supports `GeneratedMessage` as a type ### Alternatives _No response_ ### Anything else? _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
