Doesn't work on windows

The library should be OS agnostic, but there are issues with decoding (when generating with protoc -I priv/protos --elixir_out=plugins=grpc:./lib/ priv/protos/helloworld.proto)

Even for provided helloworld example

Error trace

It relates to - https://github.com/elixir-protobuf/protobuf/issues/279, I don't know why it was closed, it is clearly a bug for Windows OS and it should work on all OSs

From the last discussion, the library has few bugs on windows like https://github.com/elixir-protobuf/protobuf/issues/280 and the maintainer conclude that we should tackle all of it.

See discussion in https://github.com/elixir-protobuf/protobuf/issues/279#issuecomment-1160130633 for more details.
