[FLINK-29796] pyflink protobuf requirement out of date

Description

The setup.py file for pyflink currently requires protobuf<3.18 but the dev-requirements.txt file lists protubuf<=3.21 which seems to indicate that the library works with newer version of protobuf. The latest version of protobuf which satisfies the requirement was 3.17.3 which was released over a year ago, and notably the various gcloud api packages all require much newer versions (3.19+ I think). Obviously there are ways around this but the right answer is likely to ease/change the requirement.
