Use Buf Connect instead of Google’s Go gRPC library.

With aaecc6a, we committed to using Buf Connect to communicate with Envoy.

In 31d9804, we committed to using Buf Connect to call Google gRPC APIs.

Pros
#

  • Connect is simpler and well-tested.

Cons
#

  • The Go gRPC library is supported by Google.
  • Connect requires us to run our own code generation (but that’s actually a preference).
