chore: consolidate gRPC and protobuf linking into a dedicated support library

- Introduced a new `yaze_grpc_support` library to centralize all gRPC and protobuf usage, addressing Windows linker errors and improving build stability. - Updated CMake configurations across various components to link against the new support library instead of individual protobuf targets, simplifying the linking process. - Removed legacy whole-archive linking logic, ensuring a cleaner and more maintainable build setup. Benefits: - Reduces complexity in CMake files and enhances compatibility across platforms. - Prevents potential linker errors by consolidating gRPC and protobuf dependencies into a single library.
