Description
### Describe the bug
Every time `withVisibilityFilter` is used Protobuf generates new messages for the nested messages, instead of reusing the existing ones.
There is also a separate issue here where different visibilities should actually generate several nested messages which would have correct visibility fields, but in those cases the messages should have a different name to differentiate them.
### Reproduction
In the provided example I would expect 3 variations of `Foo` message to be created - `Foo`, `FooCreate` and `FooUpdate`. Instead, 4 messages are created, all named `Foo`.
