Replace gogoprotobuf with golang protobuf
Description
This change replaces gogoprotobuf with golang protobuf for Calico components. Gogoprotobuf is deprecated since Oct 2022 and is not updated. Replacing gogoprotobuf with golang protobuf can bring in new protobuf features/fixes and reduce outdated package dependencies.
To work with golang protobuf, we need (1) a calico/go-build change to include protoc in the toolchain image and (2) workaround an issue that protobuf generated types are not comparable.
