Description

Some of third party libraries in Impala native tool-chains are be older than the ones in Kudu repo.  We need to upgrade these libraries since Kudu code use some new APIs in these libraries. We should upgrade these libraries as their own separate change. These bigger changes tend to have preparation patches to line things up, then the switchover.

We need to upgrade protobuf library from 3.5.1 to 3.14.0. This requires code change in native-toolchain and impala.
