Use google-protobuf gem instead of third-party protobuf gem

The generator currently depends on the third-party gem protobuf because the official Google gem google-protobuf currently does not support custom descriptor options. There does seem to be a current effort to address this. Once that is complete, we should be able to switch to google-protobuf, which will simplify parts of the code base.
