fix: Pinned protobuf to prevent issues with pb files. (#1398)

* Pinned protobuf to prevent issues with pb files.

Currently, we rely on dependencies like proto-plus-python to select a protobuf library version.

However, if they select an incompatible version, it can lead to issues like #1257

* fix: Added upper limits for proto-plus + packaging

* Added testing constraint
