Fixes #4858
This PR makes sure that most cirq gates and operations decompose to a default cirq gateset, which is defined to be XPow/YPow/ZPow/CZPow/Measurement and GlobalPhaseGate.
cirq.testing.assert_implements_consistent_protocols
is extended to also check that if an object (gate / operation) has a_decompose_
method defined, then it should always end up decomposing to the cirq default gateset.Note that some gates, like MatrixGates on more than 3 qubits, Controlled gates acting on qudits / multi-qubit matrix gates etc. can still not be decomposed into the default gateset always.
