Description

prost-build has the "vendored" feature so that I need not have `protoc` installed. How hard would it be to add a similar feature to pbjson-build?

Research direction

Start by reading pbjson-build's build and dependency setup, then compare how prost-build implements its "vendored" feature. Determine the scope of supplying protoc without a system installation and identify the relevant build configuration and tests. Done means pbjson-build can generate its output with the vendored option enabled and no separately installed protoc.
