Add ci protobuf generator

Closes #3 (closed)

Most work was done by @mk2155 in https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/uis/devops/experiments/mk2155/protobuf-prototype. I made a couple of changes to match what we have in main currently. I also skipped the code logic to automatically create __init__.py files, as this is not needed anymore now we make use of betterproto.

requested review from @mk2155

I'm just going to drag @rjw57 into this conversation as well - you might be interested in this from a common-pipeline PoV. We've tried to make this pipeline consistent with current approaches (shamelessly ripped from the OpenAPI pipeline), and our eventual hope is to move this into the common pipeline as part of this epic (in issue #4). A quick look at this stage to check our approach here in terms of the gitlab-ci being common-pipeline friendly would be appreciated, although I'm assigned as reviewing so just a quick look to check we haven't done anything bonkers is really the ask

It might be useful to have a poe command that mimics the build process from the pipeline - e.g. copies around the generator_static required code etc. and produces the package artifacts locally.

Apart from that, I think this looks good!
