Espresso-contrib 3.4 - protobuf-lite:3.0.1 dependency causing exception on startup when used with Firebase libraries

### Description
After update from 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.3.0' to 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.4.0' all my instrumentation tests fail.

### Steps to Reproduce
use androidTestImplementation ('androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.4.0')
and Firebase Analytics, Performace, Crashlytics

Run Espresso test.

### Expected Results
No exception, working tests.

### Actual Results
Exception on startup:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method registerDefaultInstance(Ljava/lang/Class;Lcom/google/protobuf/GeneratedMessageLite;)V in class Lcom/google/protobuf/GeneratedMessageLite; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.protobuf.GeneratedMessageLite' appears in /data/app/~~STQIHCcHI7MbyT9nY0yblg==/cz.aldor.espresso34.test-QbLfUoHzQe8ZCBAb4Mzrlg==/base.apk)

works with this exclude

androidTestImplementation ('androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.4.0'){
exclude module: "protobuf-lite"
}

### AndroidX Test and Android OS Versions

### Link to a public git repo demonstrating the problem:
https://github.com/AlmightyCZ/Espresso_3_4_protobuf_bug

Start with the linked public repository and reproduce the startup failure using espresso-contrib 3.4.0 together with the listed Firebase libraries on the reported Android versions. Compare the 3.3.0 and 3.4.0 dependency sets and verify that instrumentation tests start without requiring the protobuf-lite exclusion.
