[idea] support protobuf/grpc

[OleksandrKucherenko]

Possible improvements:

• https://github.com/stephenh/ts-proto

Use cases:

• allow easy migration between Rest API calls and GRPC enabled backend
• support multiple packers of the data for api calls. GRPC/protobuf is more efficient and allows to get higher req/sec rate.

Enabled gRPC on server side:

You have to flesh out this idea a bit more, so a reader can understand what is the issue that you want to solve.

• What happens when you try to use mappersmith with some protobuf/grpc fetching layer?
• Are there things that are not working at all, or working poorly?

Basically, I do not grasp the magnitude or ambition of this idea, if it is a huge effort or a small convenience fix.

Instead of explaining, it would help a lot if you set up an example repo to look at to really get a good understanding of the problem.
