Add mocking support to eCAL Protobuf for testing about ecal HOT 4 CLOSED

@parsley72 can you be a bit more specific about what exactly you would like to mock / test?
It would be helpful to better understand your usecase.

Similar to the link, you should be able to:

1. Import Protobuf file(s).
2. Run a server that mocks these services.
3. Have them either return random values or be able to specify them.

You can use this either during development of a new service or mock an existing one for automated testing.

It sounds like you don't actually want to "mock" anything, but rather have a template that can generate sample applications for you, based on a given set of protobuf files?

If so, I guess that could be helpful to have a code generator, to autogenerate Publish / Subscribe / Client / Server samples.

Maybe we have a different understanding of the word "mock"? I used Postman as an example but there are many other gRPC mocking tools, for instance https://github.com/tokopedia/gripmock. All I want to do is the same as what these tools provide but for eCAL instead of gRPC.
