Switch to lyft/protoc-gen-validate

[rvolosatovs]

Summary:

Switch to https://github.com/lyft/protoc-gen-validate for validation instead of https://github.com/mwitkow/go-proto-validators

Why do we need this?

1. Validators generated for languages besides Go
2. Support for gogo extensions
3. Way more features
4. Proper tagged builds
5. Backed by a known company

What is already there? What do you see now?

https://github.com/mwitkow/go-proto-validators

What is missing? What do you want to see?

https://github.com/lyft/protoc-gen-validate

How do you propose to implement this?

• Add https://github.com/lyft/protoc-gen-validate to https://github.com/TheThingsIndustries/docker-protobuf
• Switch the protoc flags to call https://github.com/lyft/protoc-gen-validate

What can you do yourself and what do you need help with?

I'll take care of adding https://github.com/lyft/protoc-gen-validate to https://github.com/TheThingsIndustries/docker-protobuf.
Possibly reuse https://github.com/znly/docker-protobuf/pull/54 The protoc image contains the plugin since version 3.0.26

I think we can remove the discussion label here. This is clearly something we need to do.

a. It's still in the alpha stage.
b. has the following issues with go andgogoproto.
