What's the downside to adding gRPC support to tower-abci?
We could have a second Server implementation that translates Tonic-generated types into domain types and invokes the inner tower::Services, and wouldn't need to jump through the hoops the TSP server does to translate into requests/responses.
We wouldn't have to wait on any upstream, and it would give us optionality to migrate to grpc communication with no significant changes to pd.
