b193f0543e0cec54dddb2ed51f45dc489c8d06d5 by Gennadiy Rozental <rogeeff@google.com>:

Change TryParse interface to return managed value.

In addition introduce companion StoreValue routine which consumes pointer to source value and stores the value inside of FlagImpl. In a follow up CL we will change StoreValue implementation to behave differently depending on "value storage kind".
We also rename default_src_ to default_value_.
