gRPC wrapper for model with a Basic modeling interface

This software allows you to wrap your BMI implementation (https://github.com/csdms/bmi) in a server process and communicate with it via the included python client. The communication is serialized to protocol buffers by GRPC (https://grpc.io/) and occurs over network ports.

The 0.2.x branch has several features that have been merged into the main branch. This changes the API slightly compared to the previous 0.3.x releases.

• OptionalDestBmi class with get_value(name,dest=None)

• Renamed master branch to main
• Merged 0.2.x branch to main
• Switch to pyproject.toml
• Upgrade to protobuf v4 https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/115

• Upgrade heat model broke our tests https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/91
• Dependency conflict with protobuf and grpcio-reflection https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/120
• Incompatibility with typeguard 3 https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/128
• Singularity version on Cartesius cluster @SURFSara gives ValueError https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/88
• The initialize method makes a copy of config file in input_dir https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/68
• Officially support Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 + drop python 3.5 support https://github.com/eWaterCycle/grpc4bmi/issues/98
