chore: update gRPC version to v1.75.1 and remove /WHOLEARCHIVE linking

- Upgraded gRPC version from v1.68.0 to v1.75.1 for improved compatibility across all platforms.
- Removed /WHOLEARCHIVE linking for protobuf to prevent duplicate version resource errors in the dependency chain.
- Updated status messages to reflect the latest gRPC version and build optimizations.

Benefits:
- Enhances build stability and compatibility with modern toolchains.
- Simplifies linking process by avoiding unnecessary options that cause conflicts.
