Hi,

I am sending the current state of my grpc package for PTXdist.

gRPC is a RPC library, using HTTP/2 and protocol buffers. See grpc.io
for more information.

Because I am not entirely happy with it, I am flagging it as RFC.

Pain points:
- I had to patch the template-generated Makefile for cross-compiling
  (separate target and host packages), see patch 3
- I had to patch version numbers in said Makefile, see patch 4

I tested it successfully with an in-house C++ application which uses
gRPC and the meson build system. I could also send another patch, adding
support for the collectd grpc plugin, for PTXdist to have a testcase
within.

When building the host package, there are several warnings about the
missing c-ares, but it just falls back to using getaddrinfo and is not
important for the host tools/plugins, in my opinion. Also, host-openssl
and host-zlib is not necessary, so the warnings can be ignored.

Would be great if some of you could test it and maybe suggest
improvements.

Thanks,
Clemens
