    Do a simple parse of a protobuf2 given minimal type information.

    Args:
        data: a string containing the encoded protocol buffer.
        schema: a dict containing information about each field number.
            The keys are field numbers, and the values represent:
                - str: the name of the field
                - dict: schema to recursively decode an embedded message.
                        May contain a 'name' key to name the field.
    Returns:
        dict: mapping from fields to values. The fields may be strings instead of
            numbers if schema named them, and the value will *always* be
            a list of values observed for that key.
