Description
Versions:
- CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)
- cvpi version 2020.2.3-base-4-g56c15e7 go1.13.6
`python3 setup.py install` fails when compiling http_client_filter.cc.
Here is the part of the output with the compiler error:
```
src/core/ext/filters/http/client/http_client_filter.cc: In function ‘grpc_core::ManagedMemorySlice user_agent_from_args(const grpc_channel_args*, const char*)’:
src/core/ext/filters/http/client/http_client_filter.cc:546:58: error: no matching function for call to ‘StrFormat(const char [19], const char*, const char [6], const char*&)’
GPR_PLATFORM_STRING, transport_name));

```
The attached file below includes the whole output of the command:
[cloudvision-compile.txt](https://github.com/aristanetworks/cloudvision-python/files/5702305/cloudvision-compile.txt)
Note that in the end there is a secondary problem that has to do with python 3 (the `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'commands'` error), but I guess that is only triggered by the gcc error above.

Research direction
Start with src/core/ext/filters/http/client/http_client_filter.cc at line 546 and inspect the reported Abseil StrFormat call, then reproduce `python3 setup.py install` on CentOS 7 using the versions listed. The compilation error should be resolved, and the remaining Python 3 `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'commands'` should be checked separately to confirm whether installation completes.
