Description

grpc comes with a hand-written makefile and cmake file, but no autotool configuration scripts. As a first step to support grpc in mesos, we could integrate gRPC into our cmake build process under Linux, and make it a dependency of libprocess. Since it also depends on protobuf, this will create a triangular dependency between protobuf, grpc and libprocess, so the existing build configurations needs to be adjusted as well.
