Add type argument to DescriptorWrapper

This preserves the type of the wrapped descriptor (usually a field).

Maybe this is overkill, as `DescriptorWrapper` seems to only be used
as part of the `FieldTracker` implementation and is not documented
and barely tested. But technically, it is public API.
