Cannot upload TPLs for mac osx

[TotoGaz]

google-cloud-storage seems to have changed the version of its protobuf requirement. protobuf must now be >=3.20.1. protobuf 3.17.3 is uninstalled and protobuf-4.21.6 is installed.

This leads to the following error message when uploading the TPL tarball to GCP.

$ python3 macosx_TPL_mngt.py ${GEOSX_TPL_DIR} geosx-key.json ${BREW_OPENMPI_VERSION}

This therefore blocks the CI/CD.
