fix: Remove protobuf related dependencies

[brikendr]

The following dependencies are not required in sdk:

• grpc_tools_node_protoc_ts
• grpc-tools
• http2

They are primarily used for generating javascript or typescript code from protocol buffer files.

Attempted to fix https://github.com/Huddly/sdk/issues/540 but the problem lies deep in the dependency tree! The fix would be for the maintainers of grpc-tools to create binaries for darwin-arm64 architecture.

@RostiMelk can you try installing this sdk branch on an npm project. It should be a git dependency like so:

....
"@huddly/sdk": "git+ssh://git@github.com/Huddly/sdk.git#fix-issue-540",
....

@RostiMelk can you post the contents of you package.json file?

Thank you @RostiMelk. It seems like the issue is with one of the sub dependencies of the sdk. From the error log we see that npm fails to find grpc-tools@v1.11.2 for darwin-arm64 architecture. This dependency is part of the @huddly/camera-proto and @huddly/camera-switch-proto dependencies. Unfortunately just removing the stale dev-dependencies here does not seem to do the trick. However, removing these dependencies is still a valid PR but it does not fix the issue at hand.
