Summary of Changes
This adds an example of a gRPC tunnel proxy for DZDs which enables the ability to subscribe to gNMI streaming telemetry samples without the requirement of dialing into devices. The tunnel proxy initiates a gRPC tunnel towards a collector, which then can be used to accept telemetry subscriptions over said tunnel. Subscription requests are then forwarded to the locally running gNMI server via a unix domain socket.
Testing Verification
Start collector instance with configuration to ask for the input pkt counter of Ethernet1 every 10s:
Start tunnel proxy on device which dials out to collector:
Subscription responses begin to magically show up on the collector:
