After many years of issue 9179 being open, there's been nothing to show
that we need the javax.annotations.Generated annotation. Most tools use
file paths and a few check for annotations with "Generated" in the name.
ErrorProne has a few that check for javax.annotations.Generated, but
only UnnecessarilyFullyQualified looks like it'd be a problem and it is
disabled by default. We're not getting any more information, no users
have reported issues with `@generated=omit`, and the existing dependency
is annoying users, so just drop it.
Given we will still retain the GrpcGenerated annotation, it seems highly
likely things are already okay. Even if there are problems they would
probably be addressed by adding a io.grpc.stub.annotations.Generated
annotation or small tweaks. In the short-term, (non-Bazel) users can use
`@generated=javax`, but long-term we could consider removing the option
assuming we've resolved any outstanding issues.
We will want to update the examples and the README to remove the
org.apache.tomcat:annotations-api dependency after the next release.
Fixes#9179
Protobuf is interested in using absl::string_view instead of const
std::string&. Just copy to std::string as the C++17 build isn't yet
operational and that level of performance doesn't matter.

Currently, the gRPC compiler isn't properly using the fully qualified
string name `java.lang.String` instead of `String`. Update the generator
to use the `$String$` alias to avoid compile issues with protobuf
messages called String.
Fixes#10316.
Introduce an AsyncService interface in the generated code and move the methods from <service>ImplBase to default implementation of the interface.
* update pom files to allow java 1.8
* Add a bindService(<service>Async) method
* Change TestServiceImpl to use the interface and include a bind method instead of extending TestServiceImplBase.
