A process may fork after invoking grpc_init() and use gRPC in the child
if and only if the child process first destroys all gRPC resources
inherited from the parent process and invokes grpc_shutdown().
Subsequent to this, the child will be able to re-initialize and use
gRPC. After fork, the parent process will be able to continue to use
existing gRPC resources such as channels and calls without interference
from the child process.
To facilitate gRPC Python applications meeting the above constraints,
gRPC Python will automatically destroy and shutdown all gRPC Core
resources in the child's post-fork handler, including cancelling
in-flight calls (see detailed design below). From the client's
perspective, the child process is now free to create new channels and
use gRPC.
To support magical internal build processes, the pb2 files need to be
split into pure-proto and gRPC parts. This performs that split and
further fixes bad module names in the test harness that interfered with
the intended test implementation.
An unfortunate side effect, due to limitations of protoc and holdover
behavior we must support in major version 1.x, is that trash files are
generated in split generation. This shouldn't be a problem in normal
protoc plugin use.
