Correcting RPC mention of Protobuf with mention of gRPC

Created by: aymec

In the RPC chapter, Protobuf is mentioned as one of the popular RPC framerworks. Protobuf is actually a serialization mechanism that can indeed be used with a RPC framework such as gRPC, originated by Google, as is Protobuf. I suggest replacing the sentence :

Popular RPC frameworks include Protobuf, Thrift, and Avro.

with

Popular RPC frameworks include gRPC (extensively used in combination with Protobuf as the serialization mechanism), Thrift, and Avro.
