Summary of changes:
Note: this only applies to the FFI crate, prost for the other crates needs to be upgraded separately.
A drawback of using prost-build is that protoc must be installed on the system as a build dependency. However, since the FFI crate is not used as a Cargo dependency, I think this is acceptable—though I’m open to opinions. For the other crates that use prost, I think we should stick to using the CI for protobuf generation.
