[Twisted-Python] gRPC support in Twisted Python

[James Broadhead]

If you're planning on working on this, it'd probably be worth taking a look
at the Twisted bindings for Thrift (a competing RPC system from FB, based
on the Google PB paper).

The generator[2] isn't the best place to start (imperative C++ that outputs
python), but the code that it generates served us very well for years
(generally, communicating twisted->cassandra, or twisted->scala services).
