Christian Decker 5307586d4d msggen: Add a new generator for grpc -> python converter
To test the grpc interface we'll want to emulate the JSON-RPC
interface as best we can, hence when talking to the grpc interface we
want to convert back into a parsed JSON format as LightningRpc would
have returned it. This is just the simplest way of closing the loop
here:

```
  pyln-testing --grpc-> cln-grpc --grpc2json
     ^                                  |
     |                                  v
     |                               JSON-RPC
     |                                  |
    TEST                                v
     ^                                 CLN
     |                                  |
     |                                  v
  pyln-testing <-grpc2py-- cln-grpc <- json2grpc
```

MsgGen - Generating language bindings and docs from schemas and wire descriptions

MsgGen is a collection of tools that are used to parse schemas and (eventually) protocol wire CSVs into an intermediate representation in memory, and then generate language specific bindings and documentation from it.

The dependency graph looks like this:

digraph {
  "JSON-RPC Schemas" -> "msggen model";
  "msggen model" -> "grpc proto file";
  "msggen model" -> "Rust From<JsonRpc> Converters";
  "grpc proto file" -> "Rust grpc bindings"
  "Rust grpc bindings" -> "cln-grpc";
  "Rust From<JsonRpc> Converters" -> "cln-grpc";
  "msggen model" -> "Rust JSON-RPC structs";
  "Rust JSON-RPC structs" -> "cln-rpc";
}
