Support Apache IoTDB as a storage option, mostly refer to previous InfluxDB storage option.

Upgrade to the latest grpc-java 1.42.1 which is only compatible and [tested against](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/pull/8551#discussion_r714182190) 3.17.2, but we can assume that 3.17.3 (which has osx-aarch_64 compatible maven artifacts) is save to use.

We could have also upgrade to the latest grpc-java 1.42.1 and latest protoc 3.19.1, but it can not be directly done, it needs to tweak the grpcs-java internal dependencies. So we choose the safest option and discarded this option because of the following reasons:
 - Protoc 3.19.1 generates code that relies on methods not available in protobuf-java 3.17.2 ([“issue”](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/9236#issue-1059594027)) (which java-grpc relies on). So we need to tell grpc-java via dependency management to use 3.19.1 instead of 3.17.2.

The ES persistence execution is now asynchronous and the execution
latency only counts the time to insert the requests into the bulk
processor, instead of the time after the requests are flushed into the
storage, this patch fixes that issue.

There is the same issue in prepare latency but that needs more changes
so I'll leave it to another pull request.

* Change `SO11Y` metric `envoy_als_in_count` to calculate the ALS message count.
