Some Protocol methods shouldn't have default nil implementations
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-260
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-260
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Library (Ruby)
            Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
            Priority: Trivial


There are a bunch of methods defined in the Protocol base class that have 
default implementations that just return nil. However, many of these methods 
shouldn't just return nil - if they're unimplemented, it's probably an 
incomplete protocol. Instead, we should probably throw an NotImplementedError.

The methods that should throw the NotImplementedError are write_message_begin, 
write_field_begin, write_map_begin, write_list_begin, write_set_begin, 
write_bool, write_byte, write_i16, write_i32, write_i64, write_double, 
write_string.
