cta-frontend-grpc integration for CTA

  

• Michael changed cta-frontend-grpc protocol buffer, to make it similar to the current CTA protocol. This will make it easier to migrate to the gRPC implementation in the future.

• Protocol buffer implementation will be reviewed by Jacek/Michael when back from holidays.

• Interface that parses the commands will also be refactored so that it is the same between ssi and grpc implementations.
