While cross-compiling warzone2100 for aarch64, I ran into issues with 
protobuf, which are fixed by this patch.
I also updated the recipe, but I think there must be a reason we're 
still using v6. So I submitted this as an RFC.

[meta-oe][PATCH] protobuf: update 6.33.1 -> 35.1

[Markus Volk]

    - Remove PROTOC_VERSION. It now matches PV
    - Adjust PROTOC_BRANCH
    - Do not build with a custom configuration for protobuf-native; in particular, do not build shared libraries
    - protobuf-native only needs to provide the binaries. Do not package the library and includes to
      avoid potential linking failures

RE: [oe] [meta-oe][PATCH] protobuf: update 6.33.1 -> 35.1

[Marko, Peter]

Couple comments on this patch:
* there is a typo in commit message (6.33.1 instead of 6.33.6)
* please upgrade python3-prptobuf recipe together with c++ protobuf
* the correct version for this upgrade is 7.35.1
* possibly add link to https://protobuf.dev/support/version-support/ somewhere in the recipe to explain the versioning

Peter
