Idiomatic import paths

Proposal

For every service ServiceName definition, we add

pub mod service_name {
    pub use super::{
        service_name_client::ServiceNameClient,
        service_name_server::{ServiceName, ServiceNameServer},
    };
}

pub use service_name::ServiceName;

Pros

• Simpler, cleaner imports
• Naming follows prost. E.g. nested messages.

Cons

• Users need to use different imports (or we can just alias these and not make a breaking change)

Motivation

Currently, we separate the client and server in two distinct modules which is not as idiomatic as just have one module that exports the client and server exports. For precedent, see std::path::Path.

Alternatives

One can manually add these aliases.
