Description

As described in issue https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/issues/3190 microservices become popular and of most popular solution is using protobuf with GRPC srevices. And I think it will be more interesting if use will have choice of using HTTP or GRPC to using Orleans backend.

So, what I propose is generating protobuf models from c# interfaces that could be translated to http\grpc with swagger support.

Research direction
This issue proposes generating protobuf models from C# interfaces to enable gRPC support in Orleans. Refer to the linked issue #3190 for context. Investigate existing Orleans code generation utilities (e.g., code generators for grain interfaces) and explore how to extend them to emit protobuf definitions. Consider integration with Swagger for API documentation. Review the discussion in the issue comments for additional requirements and potential design approaches.
