We should move to gprc-dotnet

[arthurkehrwald]

I tried to replace Grpc.Core with grpc-dotnet and couldn't get it to work. Unity lacks support for HTTP/2, which the old Grpc.Core provided through native code, but grpc-dotnet relies on .NET to do it and the version of .NET Unity runs is too old. So it seems we're stuck with Grpc.Core until Unity moves to at least .NET 6

At some point (planned for next major), Unity is going to move from Mono to the current .NET runtime. Maybe that will be enough?

Otherwise there seem to be a few workarounds in that other GitHub thread.

You can use YetAnotherHttpHandler in combination with grpc-dotnet. One limitation is that Unix Domain Sockets are not supported.

Thanks for the tip!
