* Bump up gRPC/protobuf to fix CVE-2021-2256

Support Apache IoTDB as a storage option, mostly refer to previous InfluxDB storage option.
* The Design of Apache IoTDB Storage Option, https://skywalking.apache.org/blog/2021-11-23-design-of-iotdb-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.

Groovy naturally supports many dynamic features that we don't benefit for now but cost performance loss, in this patch we compile our Groovy-based DSL scripts statically to optimize performance.
