Description

The gRPC stack tikv is on is unloved and it looks like the future of gRPC in Rust is https://github.com/tower-rs/tower-grpc. Let's start migrating in that direction.

There will be many unknowns here, upstream contributions needed, benchmarking, careful regression testing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study tower grpc API and compare with current gRPC usage in TiKV. Identify necessary changes and plan migration steps. Set up benchmarking to compare performance before and after migration.
