Description

Currently, Drill builds have a dependency on (a particular version of) Protobuf compiler which may be unnecessary since the schema changes are less frequent.

I propose that:

1. We move all proto files in a separate project (drill-protocol?), and
2. Add a conditional build profile to compile the proto files into Java sources and check in the generated sources.
