build: Centralize our protobuf compilation steps We have a few different .proto files in this repository that all need to get recompiled into .pb.go files each time we change them, but we were previously handling that with some scripts that just assumed that protoc and the relevant plugins were already installed on the system somewhere, at the right versions. In practice we've been constantly flopping between different versions of these tools due to folks having different versions installed in their development environments. In particular, the state of the .pb.go files in the prior commit wasn't reproducible by any single version of the tools because they've all slightly diverged from one another. In the interests of being more consistent here and avoiding accidental inconsistencies, we'll now centralize the protocol buffer compile steps all into a single tool that knows how to fetch and install the expected versions of the various tools we need and then run those tools with the right options to get a stable result. If we want to upgrade to either a newer protoc or a newer protoc-gen-go in future then we'll do that in a central location and update all of the .pb.go files at the same time, so that we're always consistently tracking the same version of protocol buffers everywhere. While doing this I attempted to keep as close as possible to the toolchain we'd most recently used, but since they were not consistent with each other they've now all changed which version numbers they record at minimum, and the planproto stub in particular now also has a slightly different descriptor serialization but is otherwise offering the same API.

# This directory acts both as a cache so we can avoid constantly re-downloading
# the same protoc, and as a staging area where we can put a protoc-gen-go
# executable that won't interfere with the operation of other Go codebases
# on the same system which might want a different version of protoc-gen-go.
