Description
The [Protobuf API](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/golang/protobuf/proto) used in this project is already outdated and cannot be used for Protobuf definitions that are compiled using a recent version of `protoc-gen-go` which uses [this package](https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/protobuf/proto) instead.
Is there any plan to upgrade this? I can create a PR for this as I already upgraded it in [my fork](https://github.com/adzil/groupcache/pull/1) although I understand that this may break backward compatibility with the existing `mailgun/groupcache/v2` API.

Research direction
Compare the project's current use of github.com/golang/protobuf/proto with google.golang.org/protobuf/proto, then review the linked fork pull request for the proposed upgrade. Determine the compatibility impact on the mailgun/groupcache/v2 API and verify that existing behavior and recent protoc-gen-go-generated definitions both work before considering the change complete.
