Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to consume Sparkplug messages which the payload is a protobuf spec over standard mqtt. Not all industrial sensors/protocols natively support mqtt, sparkplug bridges this gap.
Supporting protobuf will enable use cases like this and users who prefer protobuf over json for efficiency.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just like Kafka, nats and rest add a protobuf encoding with file and/or other schema location.
This will also add more consistency to the encoding options over all message queues.
Describe alternatives you've considered
